Evaluation of a stent dressing and abdominal bandage on surgical site infection following emergency equine laparotomy: A randomised controlled trial

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Surgical site infection (SSI) is a frequent complication following emergency equine laparotomy, negatively impacting equine welfare, increasing treatment costs and presenting a hospital biosecurity risk. Objectives To determine if a sutured‐on stent dressing for incisional protection during anaesthetic recovery reduced SSI following

Dysphagia in an equine referral hospital, 182 cases

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dysphagia describes a clinical sign of pathologies of the oral cavity, pharynx, and oesophagus that carries potentially serious consequences for horses. Given the diversity of differential diagnoses that may cause dysphagia, an understanding of the prevalence of dysphagia in hospitalised patients, the distribution of aetiologies and

Understanding antimicrobial use by equine owners in Wales: Using cross‐sectional survey and semi‐structured interviews

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an increasingly serious threat to human and animal health. Antimicrobial use (AMU) in horses is gathering research interest, although there remain significant evidence gaps. Currently, there is scant qualitative research into equine owners' use of antimicrobials, specifically antibiotics, hindering ...

Crystal structure and biophysical characterisation of the enterococcal foldase PpiC, a cross‐opsonic antigen against gram‐positive nosocomial pathogens

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
PpiC is an enterococcal lipoprotein endowed with both Peptidyl‐prolyl cis‐trans isomerase (PPIase) and foldase activities. It is a potential target for novel antimicrobials and a promising vaccine antigen. We determined the crystal structure of the enzyme, showing that PpiC adopts a dimeric organisation embedding two catalytic parvulin‐type PPIase ...

Pharmacokinetics of Ampicillin Trihydrate in Plasma, Interstitial, and Peritoneal Fluid Following Intraperitoneal or Intramuscular Administration in Steers at the Beginning of a Standing Flank Laparotomy

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prophylactic and perioperative use of antibiotics is common prior to abdominal surgery in cattle for minimizing the risk of postoperative infections. Yet, there is little information on drug concentrations at sites of potential infections following surgical procedures. The objective of this study was to compare the concentrations in the plasma,

The role of antibiotics in preventing surgical complications in periodontology and implant dentistry

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Antibiotics are commonly prescribed in periodontal and implant surgeries, either before, during or after surgery, to prevent postoperative infection and reduce early implant failure. However, the potential benefits may be undermined by the risks of resistance and sensitization, thus requiring a strict indication for prescription.
