Identificación y resistencia antimicrobiana de Staphylococcus aureus provenientes de lesiones piodérmicas de perros (Canis lupus familiaris)
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2022-02-18) Galarza Alvarado, María Paz; Galarza Molina, Enmanuel Leonardo
The objective of the present investigation was to identify the presence of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria in 153 dogs without distinction of sex, age and breed, which had pyodermic lesions as the main inclusion criteria. These patients underwent a dermatological examination, cytology, culture, bacterial identification and the positive ones of S. aureus underwent an antibiogram with the main antibiotics currently used (amoxicillin plus clavulanic acid, cephalexin, ampicillin, ceftriaxone, ciprofloxacin, neomycin, gentamicin, azithromycin, tetracycline, doxycycline, chloramphenicol, and rifampin). In the present investigation, a frequency table was performed with a 95% confidence interval, a logistic regression, Odds Ratio and a Chi Square test, of the 153 samples obtained, 17 were positive for S. aureus, representing 11.11% of the population, these samples were processed for antibiogram, greater resistance to ampicillin and tetracycline was obtained, in the same way multiresistance according to the odds ratio is more present in geriatric patients, males with recurrent deep pyodermas, external deworming of less than 1 year and with onset of signs of less than 12 months of evolution. It is concluded in this way that there is presence of this pathogen and its multi-resistance, this type of patients should be considered and if they already have recurrent pyoderma problems, always carry out a culture and antibiogram to determine the specific treatment for each patient and avoid more antibacterial resistance and its zoonotic risk.
Prevalencia de diabetes mellitus en perros mayores de 7 años con sobrepeso ICC>4
(2016) Galarza Molina, Enmanuel Leonardo; Andrade Guzmán, Omar Santiago
This investigation was conducted in the city of Cuenca, Province of Azuay, for determining the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) In dogs older than 7 years of age with ICC greater than 4, which was performed in 10 veterinary clinics, in 250 dogs, therefore a clinical examination was carried out, to verify signs associated with the disease (polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia y lethargic), a blood drop from the ear was obtained, which was analyzed in the glucometer to verify the levels of glucose, classifying them as hypoglycemic (<60mg/dl); normoglycemic (61-120 mg/dl); hyperglycemic (>121mg/dl). The hyperglycemic animals were associated with the symptomatology of DM. The percentages of the hypoglycemic animals were 26, 80% with an average of 55, 50 mg/dl and for normoglycemic 73, 20% with an average of 75 mg/dl. This data was determined by Kruskal Wallis testing, there is no statistically significant association between age and glucose levels (p>0, 05). With the same test, diet and glucose levels are associated (p>0, 05), consequently they are not significant. Signs like polyuria y polydipsia were present in 100 % of the patients, not with polyphagia and lethargic that are only demonstrated in 1, 2 % of the studied animals, with the test of Mann-Whitney, there is significance between glycemic and polyuria-polydipsia (p<0, 05) but not with polyphagia and lethargy which are not significant at performing the same test (p>0, 05). In conclusion, finding no hyperglycemic animals, a zero prevalence of diabetes mellitus is determined in the study population. Keywords: glucose levels, diabetes mellitus, glucometers, prevalence
