The bacterial culture of urine relevance in the complex treatment of incontinence in dogs

Abstract

To date in Russian federation there is widespread in veterinary medicine to empiric prescription of broad-spectrum antibacterial drugs in the treatment of bacterial cystitis in dogs. The main danger of this approach is associated with the provocation of the development of antibiotic resistance of microorganisms, with the surgical treatment of animals in the active stage of the inflammatory process and associated complications, with the development of ascending infections of the urinary system. Very important for a positive clinical result in the treatment of dogs with urinary incontinence against the background of ureteral ectopia or urethral sphincter insufficiency has a compliance with the preanalytical rules when taking biomaterial (urine) for bacteriological examination by pyelocentesis or cystocentesis. So there is data how to obtaining a biomaterial and its laboratory research in this article. This article presents arguments to the feasibility and necessity of conducting a laboratory study of the bacterial composition of urine in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the urinary system associated with urinary incontinence. This approach makes it possible to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria, stop the actual infectious process and ensure high rates of treatment. Вacterial culture of urine is one of the most important tests to ensure the successful treatment of patients with such diseases. Also in analyzes results we can see the insufficiency and associated risks of broadspectrum antibacterial drugs’s "blind" prescription, which has negative affect for treatment
