Carriage of antimicrobial‐resistant E. coli in urban stray cats (Felis catus)

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Escherichia coli is a growing concern in both human and veterinary medicine, driven by the inappropriate use of antimicrobials. Companion animals may act as community reservoirs and sentinels for antimicrobial‐resistant bacteria due to their close contact with humans and other animals.

Distribution of arginase in tissues of cat ( Felis catus )

Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery, 2007
Arginase (EC 3.5.3.1), the final enzyme in the urea cycle, catalyses the hydrolysis of L-arginine to L-ornithine and urea. High activity of this enzyme in the liver indicates its primary role in ammonia detoxification. However, its wide tissue distribution suggests that this enzyme might perform other functions besides hepatic ureagenesis. Although the

Duodenal microanatomy of the domestic cat (Felis catus).

Histology and histopathology, 1992
Duodenal samples were taken from similar locations in six cats, processed, stained, and examined via light microscope. There were no prominent circular folds (plicae circulares) or stratum compactum (lamina subglandularis). The 1072 microns x 201 microns villi were covered by 46 microns high columnar epitheliocytes proximally which decreased in height (
