-eryosipholothrix, corynebacterium
-bartonella,
-many other species including anaerobes
-blood

-broad spectrum, IV, bactericidal
usually peniclillin+ fluroquinolone
What do we use to treat bartonella causing bacterial endocarditis?
-azithromycin +/- amikacyin
-doxy, amoxicillin, enrofloxacin, rifampin
-doxy and enro/prado
What do we culture for hepatobiliary disease?
-tru cut biopsy

What is enrofloxacin known to cause in boxers?
-histiocytic ulcerative colitis
What is metronidazole used to treat?
-Giardia, clostridium
What is tylosin responsive diarrhea
-middle age large breed dogs
-chronic diarrhea
What do we use oxytet for in horses?
oxytet
If a horse has bronchopneumonia, what drug do we pick
TMS
What bacteria have multiple drug resistance?
-methicillin resistant staphylococus
-extended spectrum beta lactamase bacteria
-enteroccocus sp
What is MRSA
-S. auerues organisms resistnat to the anti-staphylococcal penicillins
-methicillin, oxacillin
What is resistant mediated by with MRSA
-MecA gene
-encodes for penicllin binding protein 2a
-low binding affinity for B-lactam antibiotics
-resistant to ALL beta-lactam antibiotics
What are risk factors for MRSA
-Prior administration of antimicrobial drugs (Beta lactams and fluroquinolones in dogs)
IV catheterization
What are the most common sites to find MRSA
-EAR, SKIN
-can treat these topically
What is MRSP a common cause of?
-canine pyoderma
What is MRSE
-methicillin resistant staphylococcus epidermis
-commonly seen in horses
How do we treat MRSA
-based on culture and sensitivity to
What are MRSA/MRSP routinely sensitive to?
-doxy
-chloramphenicol
-TMS
-rifampin
-Dont always need the big gun
What is mupirocin
-Bactoderm
-indicated for topical treatment of canine bacterial infections of the skin
-Superficial pyoderma (susceptible strains of Staph aureus and staph intermedius)
Where are extended spectrum betalactamses found?
What do they produce and what do they do?
-gram negative bacteria
-produce B-lactamses, which inactivate penicillins and inactive B-lactamse resistant cephalosporins
Where does resistance come from with ESBL
-plasma mediated
-encode other genes that infer resistance to other antimicrobials of this class
