This study aimed to determine the prevalence, risk factors, and types of bacterial isolates associated with subclinical bacteriuria (SBU) in dogs with reduced mobility; and to explore the influence of SBU on surgical-site infection (SSI) in dogs treated surgically for their conditions.
We studied 140 client-owned dogs.
Medical records of dogs with orthopedic and neurological conditions from 3 academic referral hospitals were reviewed. Dogs receiving antimicrobials or showing lower urinary tract signs were excluded. Using generalized linear models, clinical, procedural, and postoperative variables were evaluated as possible risk factors for SBU and SSI.
The prevalence of SBU and the rate of SSI were 8.5% (12/140) and 10.4% (10/96), respectively. Urine culture was completed in 6 of 12 dogs with SBU, and 3 results were positive ( in 2 dogs and spp. in 1 dog). Four of the 10 dogs that developed SSI received postoperative antimicrobial therapy. The prevalence of SBU and types of bacterial isolates were similar to those in previous reports. Significant risk factors for developing SBU and its association with SSI were not identified.
Screening and treating for SBU preoperatively remains controversial.
本研究旨在确定行动不便犬只亚临床菌尿症（SBU）的患病率、危险因素及相关细菌分离株类型；并探讨SBU对因病情接受手术治疗犬只手术部位感染（SSI）的影响。
我们研究了140只客户拥有的犬只。
回顾了来自3家学术转诊医院的患有骨科和神经科疾病犬只的病历。排除接受抗菌药物治疗或有下尿路症状的犬只。使用广义线性模型，评估临床、手术及术后变量作为SBU和SSI的可能危险因素。
SBU的患病率和SSI的发生率分别为8.5%（12/140）和10.4%（10/96）。12只患有SBU的犬只中有6只完成了尿液培养，3份结果呈阳性（2只犬为 ，1只犬为 菌属）。发生SSI的10只犬中有4只接受了术后抗菌治疗。SBU的患病率和细菌分离株类型与先前报告相似。未确定发生SBU的显著危险因素及其与SSI的关联。
术前对SBU进行筛查和治疗仍存在争议。
