Staphylococci and enterococci are common causes of urinary tract infections in cats. However, both species are rarely implicated together as causes of lower urinary tract infections associated with urethral obstruction. This report describes the first case of a multi-drug methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius belonging to spa type t06 and Enterococcus faecalis urinary infection in a cat with pre-existing and recurrent urethral obstruction. Both species were isolated at >10(5)CFU/ml from a cystocentesis urine specimen. Clinical and ultrasound features, results from urinalysis, urine culture, molecular typing and susceptibility testing by minimal inhibitory concentrations determination are described. Oral treatment with nitrofurantoin, the only antimicrobial agent that constituted a viable therapeutic option, had a positive outcome.
葡萄球菌和肠球菌是猫尿路感染的常见病因。然而，这两种菌很少共同作为与尿道阻塞相关的下尿路感染的病因。本报告描述了首例患有既往复发性尿道阻塞的猫发生的一起由属于spa t06型的多重耐药性中间型葡萄球菌和粪肠球菌引起的尿路感染。两种菌均从膀胱穿刺尿液标本中分离出来，浓度>10(5)CFU/ml。描述了临床和超声特征、尿液分析结果、尿培养、分子分型以及通过最低抑菌浓度测定进行的药敏试验。使用呋喃妥因进行口服治疗（这是唯一可行的治疗选择抗菌药物）取得了积极效果。
