Canine and Feline Urology Research
Our research particularly focuses on urinary tract infections in dogs and cats with the current projects (1) Antibiotic susceptibility and mechanisms of resistance of canine uropathogenic bacteria; (2) Pathotypic traits of E. coli isolated from the urinary tract of dogs; (3) Urinary tract infections in pets with concurrent endocrine disease.Next : Publications
