“…Antimicrobial resistance in bacteria recovered from horses has been recognised since the 1970s [15] but in most cases the epidemiology of such resistance in horses has not been assessed. Many reports have concerned pathogenic bacterial isolates submitted for diagnostic bacteriology [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24], with fewer studies monitoring resistance in commensal strains [25,26].…”

SummaryAntimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections. While the epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria from man has been studied extensively, less work has been undertaken in companion animals, particularly horses. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus has been identified as a cause of infections, with a low prevalence of nasal carriage by horses in the community but higher for hospitalised horses. Molecular characterisation has shown methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus strains either to be predominantly of types associated with horses or of sequence type ST398. Antimicrobialresistant Escherichia coli (including multidrug-resistant and extended spectrum b-lactamase-producing isolates) have caused infections and been documented in faecal carriage by horses, with many significant resistance mechanisms identified. More sporadic reports and molecular characterisation exist for resistance in other bacteria such as enterococci, Salmonella, Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas species. Limited work has been undertaken evaluating risk factors and much of the epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria from horses remains to be determined.

“…Concerning the variation in the susceptibility of the enterobacterial isolates against the antibacterial agents, Salmonella enteric was found to be susceptible to all the tested antibacterial agents in the current study. Moreover, Dadras et al (1996) found that the highest percentage of E. coli and Proteus spp. isolates were resistant to ampicillin.…”

F oal diarrhea is a worldwide major problem in equines and is reported to be the most common cause of death in young age (Barr, 2018; Haq et al., 2018). The affected animals show diarrhea, inappetance, and poor body condition as major clinical signs. While in some per-acute cases, high fever, leukopenia, increase heart rate, anorexia and septic shock were detected (Haq et al., 2017a). It is recorded that nearly 80% of the foals suffered from diarrhea at least one time during their life (Frederick et al., 2009). A single causative agent is often not found (Schoster et al., 2015). However, coinfection between infectious agents was recorded as being more prevalent and may result in
