Urinary tract infection in a cat and cholangiohepatitis in a dog caused by the same strain of CTX-M-14 extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing <i>Escherichia coli</i> ST162 in a household: case report
Dissemination of ESBL-producing <i>E. coli</i> to other pets, as well as to people, is possible when an animal in the household has an infection. In this case, cohabiting animals both developed clinical infections, highlighting the need for guidance to prevent pet-to-pet spread of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens.
