According to my interviewed connections in this area, some breeders will misuse antibiotics during the breeding and whelping stages, which can in turn create superbugs; thus, I coined the phrase ‘breeding- Antimicrobial resistant infections can be lethal to immunocompromised dogs such as puppies and seniors.

Antimicrobials are designed to treat infections caused by microorganisms such as bacteria, protozoa, and fungi. These drugs target parts of the infective microorganism such as the cell itself, or its mechanisms of survival like metabolism and synthesis. Unfortunately, bacteria are capable of developing resistance to antimicrobials, whereby specific drugs are no longer effective at treating infections. Overuse and misuse led to the immense problem today of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in both h- This is a reminder to do the Abstract, here are some reminders what an Abstract is for.
