All bacterial samples of equine origin submitted to the diagnostic laboratory at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine from January 1998 to December 2003 from either "in-clinic" or Field Service cases were accessed (1323 submissions). The most common bacterial isolates from specific presenting signs were identified, along with their in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility patterns. The most common site from which significant bacterial isolates were recovered was the respiratory tract, followed by wounds. Streptococcus zooepidemicus was the most common isolate from most infections, followed by Escherichia coli. Antimicrobial resistance was not common in the isolates and acquired antimicrobial resistance to multiple drugs was rare. The results are compared with previous published studies from other institutions and used to suggest appropriate antimicrobial treatments for equine infections in western Canada.
1998年1月至2003年12月期间，提交至西部兽医学院诊断实验室的所有源自马匹的细菌样本，无论是“门诊”病例还是现场服务病例（共1323份样本），均被纳入研究。确定了特定临床表现中最常见的细菌分离株及其体外抗菌药敏模式。分离出重要细菌分离株的最常见部位是呼吸道，其次是伤口。兽疫链球菌是大多数感染中最常见的分离株，其次是大肠杆菌。分离株中耐药情况并不常见，获得性多重耐药罕见。将结果与其他机构先前发表的研究进行比较，并用于为加拿大西部的马匹感染建议合适的抗菌治疗方法。
