Comparison of Cul ture Methods for Diagnosis of Urinary TractInfection and Association with Clinical OutcomeWhen diagnosing UTIs, it is becoming increasingly important to interpretthe results of urine culture with the patients’ clinical signs, history, andother diagnostic test results in mind, particularly when the culture yieldslow bacterial counts, to avoid misuse of antibiotics and contribution toincreasing ant ibiot ic resistance. Recent research into uropathogenicEscherichia coli, the most common cause of UTI in small animals, has shownthat isolates from animals are remarkably similar to those from humans,furthering the need for responsible antibiotic use. - Emily Swan (Class of2017), Peggy J. Dearing and Kathy L. O’Reilly

Staphylococcus Infections: How to Deal with Infections When There isIncreasing Antibiotic ResistanceThe epidemiology of Staphylococcus infections was investigated in theVeterinary Teaching Hospital at OSU from January 2012 to December 2015.Sources of infection, antibiotic susceptibility to antibiotics, response totherapy, and transmission of antibiot ic resistance to methicillin weredetermined. The outcome of the study resulted in the adoption of changesto diminish the risk of future hospital infections. – Luiz E. Bermudez, MD(Microbiology)
