General , veterinarian veterinarian

Whether dog, cat or exotic pet - in every veterinary practice there is a risk of getting in touch with pathogens that can also make people sick. These so -called zoonoses range from easy -to -treat skin mushroom diseases to life -threatening infections such as rabies. What many forget: Apparently healthy animals can also leave pathogens and endanger others - unnoticed and without clinical symptoms.

But there is good news: If we understand the paths through which zoonotic pathogens are transferred, we can take targeted protective measures - and significantly reduce the risk for ourselves, our team and pet owners.

Careful and responsible handling of antimicrobial drugs is therefore essential. There are new recommendations for which types of bacteriuria should be treated, which antibiotics should be considered as first -line therapy and how long the treatment should take place.¹
