Implication

Retrospective study evaluates antimicrobial resistance in Klebsiella spp. infections in companion animals, suggesting urgent action is needed.

Key Points

This study aims to assess the antimicrobial resistance profiles and trends of Klebsiella spp. infections in companion animals in the Iberian Peninsula.
Analyzed 809 clinical isolates collected from dogs and cats between 2016 and 2024.
Studied susceptibility profiles and epidemiology of Klebsiella spp. infections.
Evaluated temporal resistance trends in the isolates.
Klebsiella pneumoniae was predominant (70%) and more common in cats (76%) than dogs (68%).
Overall multidrug-resistant (MDR) prevalence was high, particularly in cats (51.1%; 95% CI 41.1–60.9%).
Significant increasing trend of resistance to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid noted, while aminoglycosides showed a significant decline in resistance.
