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 ...
