Responsible Use of Antimicrobial Agents to Treat Bacterial Endometritis in Mares

Dr. Peter Morressey chats with Dr. Tamara Dobbie, DVM, DACT, about her presentation at the 2022 AAEP Convention: Responsible Use of Antimicrobial Agents to Treat Bacterial Endometritis in Mares.

Antimicrobial resistance is both a veterinary and global challenge. The incidence of resistance affects all body systems, including the reproductive tract. To date, few studies have critically evaluated the efficacy of commonly used antimicrobials in mares with bacterial endometritis. For now, treatment of bacterial endometritis should be based on culture and sensitivity.
