Antimicrobial resistance profiles of bacteria associated with lower respiratory tract infections in cats and dogs in England (2021)
Journal Article
Mavrides, D. E., Morgan, A. L., Na, J. G., Graham, P. A., & McHugh, T. D. (2022). Antimicrobial resistance profiles of bacteria associated with lower respiratory tract infections in cats and dogs in England. Veterinary Record, 190(4), Article e779. https://doi.org/10.1002/vetr.779

Background: Bacterial lower respiratory tract infections (bLRTIs) are common and potentially life threatening in cats and dogs. Antibiotic treatment is often initiated before the diagnosis of bLRTI; therefore improved knowledge of the aetiology and a...
