DALISAY, RAWL LORENZO A. Isolation and Antibacterial Susceptibility Testing of Uropathogenic Escherichia Coll (UPEC) in the Urine Samples of Clinically Sick and Apparently Healthy Cats (Felts catus) from a Veterinary Hospital in Makati City, Philippines.

The purpose of this study is to isolate uropathogenic Escherichia coil (UPEC) in the urine samples of clinically sick and apparently healthy cats and determine its antibacterial susceptibility profile. Eighty five urine samples from cats that were brought to a companion animal hospital in Makati City were used for determining the prevalence of UPEC in the area. Total E. coil and eoliform count counts from the urine samples were determined using PetrifilmTM Exo/i/coliform (EC) plate. Twenty samples showed growth on PetrifllmTM EC plates. There were a total of 14 E. coil organisms identified through biochemical methods of which 11 were found to be hemolytic and were considered as uropathogenic E. co/i (UPEC), giving a prevalence of 12.9%.
Antibacterial susceptibility test was done to UPEC isolates against selected antibiotics namely: cefoxitin, clindamycin, chloramphenicol, clindamycin, enrofloxacin, amikacin, gentamicin, tetracycline and trimethroprim-sulfamethoxazole. The organism showed high susceptibility to cefoxitin, chloramphenicol, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, amikacin, enrofloxacin, tetracycline and gentamicin. On the other hand, total resistance was observed with erythromycin and clindamycin. This study showed that multidrug resistant UPEC isolates were found in domestic cats and can be a source of infection to other animals and humans.
