The intimate bonds between humans and their pets create favourable conditions that support the mutual transmission of pathogens in either direction. In this context, veterinarians are essential informing educating pet owners about health risks linked to zoonotic antimicrobial resistance (AMR). To effectively convey information, should have strong communication skills. gather insights on ownership, veterinary consultations, risk communication, an online questionnaire was used survey dog cat Germany. evaluated frequency perception concerning AMR, deriving a score. findings showed rated veterinarian with high average score, reflecting satisfaction level. longer had been clients, more frequently they received information zoonoses better communication. However, results also indicated amount and/or AMR provided by still lower than desired owners. Risk factors, including pathogen detection, vulnerable individuals, owning imported animals, feeding them raw meat, fish, offal, or uncooked bones, were regularly present. These underscore critical role preventing AMR.

Exotic animals traded and kept as pets can transmit a variety of diseases to humans other animals, vice versa. Therefore, it is essential for pet owners, particularly vulnerable groups, be informed about associated risks. Veterinarians play crucial role in informing owners health risks with zoonotic pathogens antimicrobial resistance (AMR) should, therefore, have good communication skills effectively transfer information owners. Thus, exotic Germany were surveyed on animal husbandry, veterinary consultation risk communication. To evaluate the perception communication, self-developed questionnaire was used derive score. The veterinarian received high average score showing level satisfaction. duration veterinarian-client relationship better perception, frequency zoonoses AMR presence permanent veterinarian. However, results indicated that disseminated and/or from veterinarians lower than desired by more educational material should made available, awareness concerning increased further education training at universities.

Falconry has been practiced for thousands of years and is nowadays frequently employed in activities such as pest control, hunting, falcon racing, environmental education. Antimicrobial resistance levels have risen the past years, constituting an emerging global problem with a direct impact on public health. Besides both topics being studied their own, information role captive birds prey potential dissemination virulence factors antimicrobial determinants bacterial origin scarce. Multidrug-resistant bacteria, including some extended-spectrum β-lactamase producers, already found several prey. Most raptors’ bacteria were related to adherence invasion abilities, toxin production, flagella. These may acquire these through contaminated raw food exchange animals between keepers zoological facilities. More studies are required confirm disseminating resistant routes interaction synanthropic species humans.

Introduction Although pets provide several social–emotional benefits for children, the risk of zoonosis must be considered among immunocompromised individuals. Methods A prospective study was conducted in a tertiary hospital including patients younger than 20 years owning dogs and/or cats. Colonization infection evaluated by stool studies, bacterial swabs, blood polymerase chain reaction and serological studies both their pets, to evaluate potential zoonotic transmission occurrence. Results We included 74 92 (63 dogs, 29 cats). Up 44.6% 31.5% had at least 1 positive result. 18.4% pets’ fecal samples were (bacteria, parasites or hepatitis E virus). No helminths observed despite high frequency incorrect intestinal deworming practices. Among gastrointestinal microorganisms found 37.3% (primarily Clostridium difficile ). Staphylococcus pseudintermedius common (8.0%) but not children (0.0%). shared colonization between owners observed, except one case ( Blastocystis patient pet feces). patients, serologies Strongyloides stercoralis (14.8%), Toxocara canis (3.2%), Bartonella henselae (19.1%) (5.6%). Serology Rickettsia spp. (22.6%) Babesia (6.5%) Leishmania (14.3%) Toxoplasma Conclusion Exposure agents detected pets; however, events almost nonexistent. In our cohort, cats do appear entail patients.
