Comparative analysis of virulence genes, biofilm production, and antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli from dogs and humans using rep-PCR
The results suggest that E. coli from humans and dogs share the same pathogenic characteristics, with notable differences in biofilm production and antibiotic resistance. The genetic relatedness between some isolates highlights the risk of zoonotic transmission, emphasizing the need for continuous surveillance and a One Health approach to control infections.
