ObjectivesAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an important One Health issue. Raw meat diets for dogs (RMD) are increasingly popular, however both RMD and dogs fed it have been demonstrated to carry AMRbacteria. This study investigated the risk factors for AMR-E. coli carriage in UK dogs, including the impact of diet.

Determine if Cavalier King Charles spaniels (CKCS) with Chiari-like malformation associated pain (CM-P) or syringomyelia (SM) are predisposed to oropharynx inflammation. MethodsCase control study 1) analysis of gross inflammation from oropharynx photographs; 2) cytological preparations from hard palate, soft palate and tonsils assessed for nucleated cellularity, mucus and bacterial presence. Ratio of inflammatory to epithelial cells calculated in 5 fields of view (40x objective); 3) soft palate quantitative measurements from T2-weighted midsagittal MRI 4) visual assessment of presence of soft palate hyperintensity, soft palate, nasopharynx impingement or otitis media with effusion (OME) from T2-weighted midsagittal and transverse head MRI.
