Abstract

The article presents the results of studies of the sensitivity of pathogens of bacterial infections of animals to antibacterial drugs. It has been established that microorganisms circulating in the territory of Lugansk have multiple antibiotic resistance, which poses a threat to the life of sick animals and leads to a significant increase in the cost of therapy. The research results show that the uncontrolled and unreasonable use of antibiotics, inadequate doses lead to the formation of high antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris, Escherichia coli. In case of infectious lesions of the skin, mucous membranes of the genitourinary system, and eyes in animals, more than 20% of the selected pathogens were characterized by multiresistance (resistance to six or more antibiotics), and 10% were extremely resistant, i.e. retained sensitivity to only one (or maximum two) antibiotics.
