What this research studies
This research focuses on analyzing bacterial isolates from various veterinary laboratories to understand antibiotic resistance better. The South Dakota Animal Disease Research and Diagnostic Laboratory will perform Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) on samples cultured from pathogens like Salmonella and E. coli. By identifying the genetic makeup of these organisms, the project aims to develop better diagnostic tests and interventions to combat antimicrobial resistance in veterinary medicine. The findings will be shared with the veterinary community to enhance treatment strategies.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research include veterinarians and pet owners dealing with infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria in animals.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have animals or are not involved in veterinary care may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved diagnostic tools and treatment options for infections in animals, ultimately enhancing animal health and welfare.
How similar studies have performed: Other research has shown success in using Whole Genome Sequencing to track and manage antibiotic resistance in both human and veterinary medicine, indicating a promising approach.
