  "abstract": "<p>Aim of the present study was to isolate bacteria from feacal material of dogs suffering from enteritis and determine their antibiotic resistance pattern. Fecal samples (n=100) were collected from dogs presented at Pet Clinic of University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Lahore with symptoms of enteritis.<em>.</em>&nbsp;A total of 210 different bacterial isolates were selected and identified as&nbsp;<em>E. coli</em>&nbsp;(127; 60.47%)<em>, Salmonella spp.&nbsp;</em>(50; 23.81%)<em>, Proteus vulgaris&nbsp;</em>(12; 5.71%)<em>, Citrobacter spp.</em>&nbsp;(17; 8.09%) and&nbsp;<em>Pseudomonas spp.&nbsp;</em>(04; 1.90%).&nbsp;<em>E. coli&nbsp;</em>were moderately resistant to ampicillin (59.65%) followed by tetracycline (54.33%), kanamycin (52.75%), gentamycin (49.60%), vibramycin (46.45%), ceftriaxone (44.88%), norfloxacin (30.70%) and ciprofloxacin (25.98%).&nbsp;<em>Salmonellae&nbsp;</em>werealso moderately resistant to ampicillin (42%), followed by gentamycin (38%), kanamycin (30%), tetracycline (28%), cepharadine (20%), ceftriaxone (16%), vibramycin (14%), ciprofloxacin (12%) and norfloxacin (8%). All the isolates were sensitive to amikacin. The isolates found resistant to more than two antibiotics were declared as multiple drug resistant (MDR) bacteria. Out of 127&nbsp;<em>E. coli</em>&nbsp;isolates, 52 (40.94%) were multiple drug resistant bacteria, followed by&nbsp;<em>Salmonella enterica</em>&nbsp;isolates 17(34.00%),&nbsp;<em>Citrobacter diversus&nbsp;</em>06 (35.29%),&nbsp;<em>Proteus vulgaris</em> 06 (50%). It is concluded that multiple drug resistance is present in gut pathogens of dogs which may be alarming for public health as well.</p>",
