Abstract

This research was conducted to determine the presence of Escherichia coli bacteria in anal swabs of wild cats, determine the existence of antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli bacteria, and determine resistance patterns in Escherichia coli bacteria. A total of 90 swab samples were taken, consisting of 30 anal swab samples from wild cats in the East Surabaya Region and 30 anal swab samples from wild cats in the West Surabaya Region. Samples were tested at the Veterinary Health Laboratory, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Wijaya Kusuma University, Surabaya. Samples were brought using buffered peptone water. Samples were isolated and identified using Mac Conkey Agar differential selective media. Isolates identified as Escherichia coli were then subjected to gram staining tests, biochemical tests, and sensitivity tests to determine the presence of resistance and multidrug resistance. The results of the study showed that 95.5% (86/90) of the samples contained Escherichia coli bacteria and the results of the sensitivity test showed that there was antibiotic resistance showing that 25.5% (22/86) were resistant to the antibiotic ampicillin, 19.3% (17/86) were resistant to tetracycline antibiotics, and 13.9% (12/86) were resistant to streptomycin antibiotics. The resistance test results showed that multidrug resistance in Escherichia coli bacteria taken from cat anal swabs was 6.9% (6/86).

Abstract

Antibiotic resistance in pets, especially cats, has become a serious global health challenge. The irrational use of antibiotics, whether excessive or inappropriate, accelerates the emergence of resistant bacteria that can potentially spread to humans and the environment. This study aims to identify the presence of antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli and analyze its resistance patterns in domestic cats in East Surabaya. A total of 35 rectal swab samples were collected from pet cats and tested at the Veterinary Public Health Laboratory, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Wijaya Kusuma University, Surabaya. The samples were isolated using the selective MacConkey Agar medium and confirmed as Escherichia coli through Gram staining, biochemical tests, and antibiotic susceptibility testing. The results showed that 94.3% (33/35) of the samples contained Escherichia coli. Antibiotic susceptibility testing revealed resistance rates of 27% (9/33) to ampicillin, 24% (8/33) to streptomycin, and 12% (4/33) to tetracycline. Additionally, 9.1% (3/33) of the isolates were classified as multidrug resistance, showing resistance to all three antibiotics (AMP-TE-S). Other resistance patterns included AMP-S (6.1%) and TE-S (3.1%). The high resistance rate of Escherichia coli in domestic cats highlights the critical role of pets as potential reservoirs of resistant bacteria, which may impact human health through direct contact or environmental transmission. Therefore, raising awareness and educating pet owners and veterinary professionals on the prudent and responsible use of antibiotics is essential. The One Health approach, integrating human, animal, and environmental health, is a strategic measure to prevent the future spread of antimicrobial resistance.
