Clinical Differences in Dogs with Enterococcal Bacteriuria Compared with Other Bacteriuria
The signalment, clinical signs, comorbidities, and response to therapy in dogs with enterococcal bacteriuria are different from dogs with other bacteriuria
This retrospective case-control study aimed to determine the clinical differences between dogs with enterococcal bacteriuria (n = 96 cases) and control dogs with any other bacteriuria (n = 288).
More dogs with non enterococcal bacteriuria demonstrated lower urinary tract clinical signs such as hematuria, pollakiuria, and stranguria (40% versus 27%, P = .02). Recessed vulva (odds ratio [OR] 2.5, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.4-4.2, P < .001), hyperadrenocorticism (OR 0.149, 95% CI 0.004-0.066, P = .03), chronic kidney disease (OR 2.29, 95% CI 1.14-4.51, P = .01), and myelopathy (OR 5.77, 95% CI 3.07-10.82, P < .001) were more common in ...
