Antimicrobial Use Guidelines for Treatment of Respiratory Tract Disease in Dogs and Cats: Antimicrobial Guidelines Working Group of the International Society for Companion Animal Infectious Diseases

摘要

The Antimicrobial Guidelines Working Group of the International Society for Companion Animal Infectious Diseases (www.iscaid.org) developed guidelines for treatment of bacterial causes of feline upper respiratory tract disease, canine infectious respiratory disease complex (CIRDC; previously known as canine infectious tracheobronchitis or kennel cough complex), bronchitis, pneumonia, and pyothorax. The document was based on review of the current literature including other veterinary recommendations on antimicrobial therapy (1-4) and corresponding guidelines for human medicine (5,6).
