Abstract

A study was undertaken to investigate the virulence potential and antibiotic resistance patterns of E. coli isolated from diarrheic companion dogs. The haemolysin production was recorded in 85.71% isolates while 92.85% isolates were shown to possess CR binding ability. Both these characteristics were recorded in 85.71% isolates. In vitro antibiotic sensitivity test revealed multiple antibiotic resistances developed in these isolates. The results alarm the potential public health hazards of E. coli from companion dogs.
