Foi determinado o perfil de resistência de bactérias isoladas de diversas afecções em cães e gatos atendidos no Setor de Clinica Cirúrgica de Animais de Companhia do Hospital Veterinário da Universidade Estadual de Londrina. Houve maior frequência de Staphylococcus spp. (27,6%), seguido por Pseudomonas spp. (22,7%) e Escherichia coli (16,6%). Na prova de sensibilidade antimicrobiana pelo método de difusão em ágar houve alta porcentagem de resistência das bactérias isoladas aos principais antibióticos usados no tratamento das infecções do trato urinário, principalmente das bactérias Gram negativas que apresentaram resistência superior a 66% aos antibióticos testados, com exceção da norfloxacina. Nas bactérias isoladas de feridas, apenas a gentamicina e a amicacina demonstraram índices de resistência inferior a 50,0%. Nas bactérias isoladas das afecções otológicas observou-se menor resistência à norfloxacina e maior à neomicina, sendo os menores índices de resistência observados nas bactérias Gram positivas. As bactérias Gram positivas apresentaram maior resistência à ciprofloxacina nos casos ortopédicos, e nas bactérias isoladas das peritonites houve 100% de resistência a diversos antibióticos. Este trabalho ressalta a importância da identificação bacteriana e a realização de antibiogramas para a escolha do agente antimicrobiano apropriado no tratamento das principais afecções atendidas na área de animais de companhia em medicina veterinária.
Cyathostomins are the most common and important group of large intestine nematodes, infecting horses worldwide. The current control strategy is associated with the development of anthelmintic resistance, which has been reported worldwide. Therefore, experiments with this family of parasites have become progressively important to provide their monitoring and control strategies. The aim of the present study was to propose a faster and more economic assay for isolation of genomic DNA from the adult stage of Cyathostomin parasites than reported. Adult parasites were collected from a single horse from a farm in São José dos Pinhais, PR, Brazil, and were identified. Genomic DNA was isolated from ten individual female adult parasites using a standardized procedure developed. Then, extraction from ten individual female was carried out by another DNA extraction method. DNA concentration from both methods were measured and compared. We obtained a good DNA quality with this standardized procedure. As a result of this analysis, we propose a modified phenol-chloroform method, which will contribute to assays that require DNA extraction from adult worms for genomic DNA sequences of cyathostomin, or species-specific identification.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
