Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a threat to global public health, intensified by the indiscriminate use of antibiotics in human and veterinary medicine, which promotes the spread of resistant bacteria. This research aims to compare the antimicrobial resistance profile of enterobacteria isolated from canine feces from two environments in the city of Cali: veterinary clinics and shelters. By isolating these enterobacteria and performing antimicrobial susceptibility tests, we seek to identify resistance profiles and patterns associated with each environment. From an epidemiological perspective, we will identify resistance to different classes of antibiotics, which will serve as indirect indicators of the possible presence of resistance genes in circulation. The findings will make it possible to evaluate the influence of sanitary conditions and antibiotic management on the emergence and spread of resistant strains, improving veterinary practices and strengthening the “One Health” approach.
