A nationwide survey directed toward Portuguese dog and cat owners was conducted online and at veterinary practices to characterize their KAP regarding antibiotics. After database curation, a total of 423 valid submissions were considered. Although 97.9% of respondents stated that they knew what an antibiotic was, 23.5% and 19.2% answered that they were used to treat viral and fungal infections, respectively. Antimicrobial effectiveness was favored over cost when 87.7% of owners agreed they would prefer to spend more money to identify the appropriate antibiotic. Around 87% of respondents recognized antibiotic resistance as a significant health problem and 74.6% strongly agreed\/somewhat agreed that antibiotic use in pets may contribute to resistance development. However, only 25.3% recognized that this could promote resistance dissemination, showing little awareness of the interconnection between human and animal health. Moreover, 55.6% of respondents were neutral when asked whether antibiotics used in veterinary medicine were also important for humans. These findings suggest that communication between veterinarians and pet owners can still be improved to further clarify the impact that antibiotic use has in pets from a One-Health perspective, also enabling antimicrobial stewardship interventions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/antibiotics13060533","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,7]],"date-time":"2024-06-07T08:05:17Z","timestamp":1717747517000},"page":"533","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Companion Animal Owners\u2019 Knowledge, Attitudes and Perceptions Regarding Antibiotic Use in Portugal"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8114-5388","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Margarida Correia","family":"Dias","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medicine, School of Science and Technology, Universidade de \u00c9vora, 7004-516 \u00c9vora, Portugal"},{"name":"MED\u2013Mediterranean Institute for Agriculture, Environment and Development & CHANGE\u2013Global Change and Sustainability Institute, Universidade de \u00c9vora, 7004-516 \u00c9vora, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8806-3345","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Russell","family":"Alpizar-Jara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, School of Science and Technology & CIMA Research Centre in Mathematics and Applications, Universidade de \u00c9vora, 7004-516 \u00c9vora, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2927-9071","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Catarina","family":"Lavrador","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medicine, School of Science and Technology, Universidade de \u00c9vora, 7004-516 \u00c9vora, Portugal"},{"name":"MED\u2013Mediterranean Institute for Agriculture, Environment and Development & CHANGE\u2013Global Change and Sustainability Institute, Universidade de \u00c9vora, 7004-516 \u00c9vora, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9648-6380","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"C\u00e1tia","family":"Marques","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Lus\u00f3fona University, 376 Campo Grande, 1749-024 Lisbon, Portugal"},{"name":"Associate Laboratory for Animal and Veterinary Sciences (AL4AnimalS), CECAV\u2014Animal and Veterinary Research Centre, University of Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes and Alto Douro, Quinta de Prados, 5000-801 Vila Real, Portugal"},{"name":"Associate Laboratory for Animal and Veterinary Sciences (AL4AnimalS), Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Animal Health (CIISA), Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Lisbon, 1300-477 Lisbon, Portugal"},{"name":"Genevet, Diagnostic Laboratory and ECVM Satellite Training Center, 1495-191 Carnaxide, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1312-6115","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Els M.","family":"Broens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomolecular Health Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Utrecht University, 3584 CS Utrecht, The Netherlands"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0589-3533","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elsa L.","family":"Duarte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medicine, School of Science and Technology, Universidade de \u00c9vora, 7004-516 \u00c9vora, Portugal"},{"name":"MED\u2013Mediterranean Institute for Agriculture, Environment and Development & CHANGE\u2013Global Change and Sustainability Institute, Universidade de \u00c9vora, 7004-516 \u00c9vora, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1082","DOI":"10.1126\/science.aax3879","article-title":"The evolution of antibiotic resistance","volume":"365","author":"MacLean","year":"2019","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"978","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tim.2018.06.007","article-title":"Evolution of plasmid-mediated antibiotic resistance in the clinical context","volume":"26","year":"2018","journal-title":"Trends Microbiol."},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"255","DOI":"10.1093\/trstmh\/trx050","article-title":"Antimicrobial resistance: A One Health perspective","volume":"111","author":"Kahn","year":"2017","journal-title":"Trans.
