Species composition of circulation microflora and its resistance to antibacterial drugs in the conditions of the impulse veterinary clinic of the city of Lviv

Effective infection surveillance and control provides a safe environment for staff, clients and animals in the veterinary clinic. This reduces the risk of nosocomial and zoonotic infections. In addition, there is a significant risk of developing antimicrobial resistance, which is associated with both reasonable and inappropriate use of antibacterial drugs for the treatment of humans and animals, food production and the ineffectiveness of measures to control the spread of infectious diseases. Therefore, microbiological monitoring is important for the assessment of the microbial composition of the veterinary institution and the timely detection of its dynamic changes and the quality of sanitary and disinfection measures. Flushes from different surfaces were taken for research. The first stage – in the process of the clinic; the second – after disinfection. The results of bacteriological examinations of washes from the surfaces of the premises of the veterinary clinic "Impulse" in Lviv (examination, hospital and operating room) showed the presence in the samples of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus spp. An important component of the clinic's laboratory in the infection control system is to determine the sensitivity of microorganisms in the room to antibiotics and systematic monitoring of general trends in antibiotic resistance, which will control the formation of stationary strains. The results showed that Escherichia coli is sensitive to erythromycin, cephalexin, chloramphenicol, ceftriaxone, gentamicin, doxacycline, ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin and methicillin and is resistant to kanamycin, clarithromycin and amoxiclav. At the same time Staphylococcus spp. were resistant to erythromycin, chloramphenicol, kanamycin, clarithromycin, amoxiclav and norfloxacin to all other drugs – sensitive. Key words: veterinary clinic, monitoring, infection control, prevention of stationary infections, resistance to antibiotics, disinfection.
