In addition, increased usage of antimicrobial agents for veterinary purposes has contributed to the worldwide problem of increasing antimicrobial resistance. The objective of this study was to contribute to better understand the potential and implications for the spread of antimicrobial-resistant enterococci between pets receiving antimicrobial treatments and their owners. Three household aggregates (HA A, B, and C) were selected for this study. Information was collected on individual and clinical parameters of both humans and animals that cohabit. For this study, samples of feces, oral secretions, skin and fur of pets, as well as owners' feces and hands and exposed household surfaces and objects were also collected. All enterococci isolates were analyzed for antimicrobial susceptibility. Based on the antimicrobial resistance patterns and origin of isolates, ERIC-PCR analysis was performed on selected isolates to evaluate phylogenetic relationships. In all three HA,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Enterococcus faecalis<\/jats:italic>\n                    clonal spread was detected between pets and the respective owners, confirming the in-home interanimal species dissemination. Additionally, fecal enterococci colonization of other body parts of the same animal and dissemination of those same enterococci to household surfaces and objects were also observed. Our results demonstrate that enterococcal clones were found in pets in multiple body sites, their human cohabitants, and shared domestic objects.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1089\/mdr.2013.0217","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,3,11]],"date-time":"2014-03-11T16:58:01Z","timestamp":1394557081000},"page":"501-507","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Spread of Multidrug-Resistant\n                    <i>Enterococcus faecalis<\/i>\n                    Within the Household Setting"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Liliana","family":"Leite-Martins","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Porto","place":["Portugal"]},{"name":"University of Porto","place":["Portugal"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Diana","family":"Meireles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Porto","place":["Portugal"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lucinda J.","family":"Bessa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Porto","place":["Portugal"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"\u00c2ngelo","family":"Mendes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Porto","place":["Portugal"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Augusto J.","family":"de Matos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Porto","place":["Portugal"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paulo","family":"Martins da Costa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Porto","place":["Portugal"]},{"name":"University of Porto","place":["Portugal"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nrmicro2319"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jac\/34.4.507"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","unstructured":"Blomfield S.F.
