Many methods have been recommended for the detection of ESBL and pAmpC \u03b2-lactamase production but they are very subjective and the appropriate facilities are not available in most laboratories, especially not in clinics. Therefore, for fast clinical antimicrobial selection, we need to rapidly detect ESBL- and pAmpC \u03b2-lactamase-producing bacteria using a simple method with samples containing large amounts of bacteria. For the detection of ESBL- and pAmpC phenotypes and genes, the disk diffusion test, DDST and multiplex PCR were conducted. Of the 109 samples, 99 (90.8%) samples were grown in MacConkey broth containing cephalothin, and 71 samples were grown on MacConkey agar containing ceftiofur. Of the 71 samples grown on MacConkey agar containing ceftiofur, 58 Escherichia coli and 19 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates, in particular, harbored \u03b2-lactamase genes. Of the 38 samples that did not grow in MacConkey broth containing cephalothin or on MacConkey agar containing ceftiofur, 32 isolates were identified as E. coli, and 10 isolates were identified as K. pneumoniae; \u03b2-lactamase genes were not detected in these E. coli and K. pneumoniae isolates. Of the 78 ESBL- and pAmpC \u03b2-lactamase-producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae, 55 (70.5%) isolates carried one or more ESBL genes and 56 (71.8%) isolates carried one or more pAmpC \u03b2-lactamase genes. Our method is a fast, and low-cost tool for the screening of frequently encountered ESBL- and pAmpC \u03b2-lactamase-producing bacteria and it would assist in diagnosis and improve therapeutic treatment in animal hospitals.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani13040649","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,13]],"date-time":"2023-02-13T06:09:21Z","timestamp":1676268561000},"page":"649","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Development of a Method for the Fast Detection of Extended-Spectrum \u03b2-Lactamase- and Plasmid-Mediated AmpC \u03b2-Lactamase-Producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae from Dogs and Cats in the USA"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Kwang-Won","family":"Seo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Veterinary Medicine, Chungbuk National University, Cheongju 28644, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"108540","DOI":"10.1016\/j.vetmic.2019.108540","article-title":"Antimicrobial resistance of bacterial pathogens isolated from canine urinary tract infections","volume":"241","author":"Yu","year":"2020","journal-title":"Vet.
