Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant public health concern in companion animals, yet systematic surveillance in North Macedonia is lacking. This study investigated the prevalence of resistance in Escherichia coli isolated from 112 fecal samples from dogs in six shelters in North Macedonia and evaluated the associated risk factors, providing the first baseline dataset for this population. High resistance was observed for sulfamethoxazole (68.75%), ampicillin (52.68%), and ciprofloxacin (41.07%). Multidrug resistance was present in 50% of the isolates, with 17 (15.17%) confirmed as ESBL producers. Additionally, 18 isolates (16.1%) were identified as AmpC producers, 16 of which carried the blaCMY-2 gene. Notably, 72.2% of ESBL/AmpC isolates were resistant to ertapenem despite the absence of carbapenemase genes, a finding that warrants further investigation. Risk factors such as shared housing, longer shelter stays, and frequent empirical antimicrobial use were identified as probable contributors to the carriage of ESBL-/AmpC-producing E. coli. None of the shelters had antimicrobial stewardship protocols or routine diagnostic testing, revealing critical gaps in infection control and antimicrobial practices. These findings underscore the urgent need for antimicrobial stewardship and surveillance in North Macedonia’s companion animal populations within the One Health framework.

Veterinary clinical microbiology laboratories play a key role in antimicrobial stewardship, surveillance of antimicrobial resistance and prevention of healthcare associated-infections. However, there is a shortage of international harmonized guidelines covering all steps of veterinary bacterial culture from sample receipt to reporting.

ENOVAT: the European Network for Optimization of Veterinary Antimicrobial Treatment

<ns4:p>The global antimicrobial resistance crisis has been the driver of several international strategies on antimicrobial stewardship. For their implementation at the field level, the veterinary sector encounters several specific challenges and in particular: (i) a shortage of experts in key disciplines related to antimicrobial stewardship, (ii) a lack of evidence-based antimicrobial treatment guidelines, and (iii) inferior diagnostic tests available compared to human medicine. The present white paper describes how the COST Action ENOVAT (the European Network for Optimization of Veterinary Antimicrobial Treatment, CA18217), comprising 332 persons from 51 countries, worked towards solutions to these challenges. Initially, surveys were conducted to explore the present state in Europe in terms of existing antimicrobial use guidelines and microbiology practices performed. Concurrently, various research activities were launched to optimize diagnostics, including development of epidemiological cut-offs, clinical breakpoints and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry interpretive criteria. Also, guidelines drafting groups working towards evidence-based antimicrobial treatment guidelines for six conditions in food-producing and companion animals were established. The processes and outcomes, also in terms of capacity building, are summarized in this white paper where emphasis is placed on sustainability of the activities. Although several ENOVAT initiatives and spin-off projects will continue beyond the Action, we recommend that a new European veterinary research agenda is launched focusing on research and funding leading to long-term impacts on veterinary antimicrobial use.</ns4:p>
