A total of 125 Enterobacteriaceae were isolated from 90 cats. Escherichia coli was the most frequently isolated species (n\u2009=\u200965), followed by Enterobacter species (n\u2009=\u200920), Proteus species (n\u2009=\u200913), Citrobacter species (n\u2009=\u200912) and others (n\u2009=\u200915). Bacterial susceptibility testing was performed with respect to eight antimicrobial classes. Beta (\u03b2)-lactamase genes were identified by PCR and nucleotide sequencing. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p> Overall, the higher frequency of resistance was to amoxicillin\u2013clavulanate (61.3%), trimethoprim\/sulfamethoxazole (33.6%) and cefotaxime (32.8%). Thirty-six percent of the isolates (n\u2009=\u200945) were resistant to 3GCs. Of these isolates, 34 were tested by PCR and nucleotide sequencing and 23 were confirmed as encoding \u03b2-lactamase genes. Fourteen 3GC-resistant isolates harboured extended-spectrum \u03b2-lactamases (ESBLs) belonging to groups CTX-M-1 (n\u2009=\u200912, two of which were CTX-M-79), CTX-M-2 (n\u2009=\u20091) and CTX-M-9 (n\u2009=\u20091), as well as SHV-12 (n\u2009=\u20091) and TEM-92 (n\u2009=\u20091). Nine isolates had CMY-2 plasmid-mediated AmpC \u03b2-lactamases (pAmpC). Thirty-one percent (n\u2009=\u200939) of the isolates were multidrug resistant (MDR) and were isolated from 34% (n\u2009=\u200931\/90) of the cats. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions and relevance<\/jats:title><jats:p> A high frequency of MDR and ESBL\/pAmpC \u03b2-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae were detected among bacteria isolated from a feline population in southern Italy with a variety of common clinical conditions, which poses limitations on therapeutic options for companion animals.
