Abstract

Antimicrobials are vital instruments for the treatment of contagious bacteriological infections in pet animals, as well as in humans. The demise of the effectiveness of antimicrobial substances can honestly deal with pet animal health and human health. A necessity for the enhancement of innovative antimicrobials for the treatment of multiresistant infections, specifically those caused by Gram-negative bacteria, has been recognized in human medicine, and an imminent subsequent demand in veterinary medicine is required. A distinctive feature associated with antimicrobial resistance and the risk of resistance development in pet animals is their close interaction in conjunction with humans. This generates chances for interspecies transmission of resistant bacteria. This review aims to recapitulate the current information on the use and indications for the Enterobacteriaceae family in pet animals and the spread of antimicrobial resistance among pet animals and their owners. The critical antimicrobial resistance microbiological threats from pet animals that directly or indirectly may cause adverse health effects in humans are carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter spp. and Salmonella spp.
