The study identified several antimicrobial resistance genes in uropathogenic E. coli strains from companion animals, including blaTEM-1b, sul1, sul2, dfrA1_10, dfrA17_1, dfrA1_8, dfrA7_5, gyrA_S83L, tetA, tetB, aph(6)-Id, aph(3'')-Ib, ant(3'')-Ia, blaCTX-M-15, blaTEM-106, blaSHV-102, and blaCMY-2. These genes confer resistance to various antibiotics such as penicillins, sulfonamides, trimethoprim, quinolones, tetracyclines, streptomycin, and cephalosporins.
