Resistance to Amoxicillin of Unidentified Bacteria Associated with Sarcoptic Mange on Canis lupus familiaris (Dogs)

Abstract

The goal of this research is to determine an easy way of treating one of the most common skin diseases among domestic dogs, Sarcoptic Mange. The researchers tested the bacteria associated with Sarcoptic Mange in agar plates treated with and without Amoxicillin. There is bacterial growth in the agar plates without the use of antibiotics. There is no growth of bacteria in the agar plates treated with antibiotics, specifically, Amoxicillin. The researchers recommend the use of Amoxicillin to decrease the number of dogs infected with Sarcoptic Mange, and to stop the transmission of this contagious skin disease. This research is also expected to contribute particularly to the country because the researchers have seen several number of dogs infected with this kind of disease.
