How It Works: Antibiotic Sensitivity Test

Sample Collection: We start by growing bacteria from your pet’s swab or fecal sample in our lab.

Preparation: The bacteria are spread onto a growth medium plate to create an ideal environment for testing.

Antibiotic Testing: We place disks containing various common pet antibiotics onto the growth medium plate. Alternatively, you can send us your pet’s specific antibiotics for testing.

Analysis: After incubation, we measure the zones of inhibition—areas around the antibiotic disks where bacteria cannot grow.

Results: The larger the clear zone around an antibiotic disk, the more effective that antibiotic is against your pet’s infection.

Signs of Antimicrobial-Resistant Infections: What Symptoms Should You Look For?

Antimicrobial resistance can make infections harder to treat. Watch for these signs that may indicate a resistant infection in your pet.

Persistent Symptoms: Ongoing issues despite treatment, such as repeated or worsening symptoms.

Unresponsive to Medication: Lack of improvement or worsening condition despite following prescribed antibiotics.

Frequent Recurrences: Regular or frequent returns of the same infection.

Unusual Discharge: Abnormal discharge from eyes, ears, or other areas, often accompanied by a foul odor.

Inflammation and Swelling: Persistent or severe swelling and redness in affected areas.

Fever: Elevated body temperature or signs of fever not resolved with initial treatments.

Behavioral Changes: Increased irritability, lethargy, or signs of pain.

If you notice these symptoms, consult your veterinarian to explore further testing and appropriate treatment options.
