Abstract

Pyometra has several immunological and molecular changes that are responsible for uterine inflammation and the disease may or may not have infections. This study aimed to isolate and identify bacteria in the uterine content of bitches with pyometra, to analyze the susceptibility profile to antibiotics, detect β-lactamase enzyme production by phenotypic tests, and resistance genes to β-lactams. Eighteen samples of uterine content were collected by aspiration puncture. The samples were inoculated in bacteriological media and identified by biochemical tests. Subsequently, antibiogram tests, screening for detection of β-lactamases, and Real-Time PCR for detection of resistance genes was performed. Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter aerogenes, Citrobacter spp., Staphylococcus spp., and Streptococcus spp. were identified in the analyzed samples of uterine content. In the antibiogram test, 90.5% of the isolates showed resistance to at least one antibiotic, and of these, 36.8% were considered MDR, with three Staphylococcus spp., three E. coli, and one Klebsiella spp. Concerning bacterial resistance to the groups of antibiotics tested, 38.1% of the isolates were resistant to at least one type of β-lactam, 33.3% to tetracycline, 19.0% to aminoglycosides, and 14.3% to fluoroquinolones, macrolides, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. In the phenotypic test to detect β-lactamase production, E. coli samples were negative and Klebsiella spp. was positive for the production of AmpC, which presented the blaCMY, blaSPM, and blaSIM genes. Bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics represent a great challenge and laboratory support is therefore essential, without which therapeutic success decreases and death may be inevitable.
