Here, antimicrobial resistance of <jats:italic>Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Enterococcus<\/jats:italic> spp. isolates from diseased and healthy dogs and cats was investigated. Isolates were collected from diseased dogs and cats and from healthy dogs and cats in 2018 to 2020. Minimum inhibitory concentrations were determined for 1873 <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic> and 1383 <jats:italic>Enterococcus<\/jats:italic> spp. isolates. <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic> isolates were most commonly resistant to nalidixic acid [diseased dog (DD), 62.1%; diseased cat (DC), 59.9%; healthy dog (HD), 23.5%; healthy cat (HC, 24.0%] and ampicillin (DD, 54.4%; DC, 64.1%; HD, 28.4%; HC, 25.2%), followed by ciprofloxacin (DD, 45.0%; DC, 44.0%; HD, 12.9%; HC, 10.4%). <jats:italic>Enterococcus<\/jats:italic> spp. isolates were most resistant to tetracycline (DD, 66.9%; DC, 67.8%; HD, 47.0%; HC, 52.0%), followed by erythromycin (DD, 43.2%; DC, 46.6%; HD, 27.8%; HC, 34.0%) and ciprofloxacin (DD, 27.9%; DC, 43.7%; HD, 9.7%; HC 12.9%). Only a few <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic> isolates were resistant to colistin and none were resistant to meropenem. Also, none of the <jats:italic>Enterococcus<\/jats:italic> spp. isolates we have tested were resistant to vancomycin. The significantly higher resistance rates of <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Enterococcus<\/jats:italic> spp. isolates from diseased, as opposed to healthy, dogs and cats against most of the tested antimicrobials indicates that the use of antimicrobials could select resistant <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Enterococcus<\/jats:italic> spp.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fvets.2022.916461","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,24]],"date-time":"2022-06-24T08:06:19Z","timestamp":1656057979000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Nationwide Monitoring of Antimicrobial-Resistant Escherichia coli and Enterococcus spp. Isolated From Diseased and Healthy Dogs and Cats in Japan"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Yukari","family":"Furuya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mari","family":"Matsuda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Saki","family":"Harada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mio","family":"Kumakawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takahiro","family":"Shirakawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mariko","family":"Uchiyama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ryoko","family":"Akama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manao","family":"Ozawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michiko","family":"Kawanishi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yoko","family":"Shimazaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hideto","family":"Sekiguchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","unstructured":"2014"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"11993","DOI":"10.1021\/acs.est.5b02566","article-title":"Role of the environment in the transmission of antimicrobial resistance to humans: a review","volume":"49","author":"Huijbers","year":"2015","journal-title":"Environ Sci Technol."},{"key":"B3","unstructured":"The Japanese Veterinary Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (JVARM).
