Abstract:
Dog and cat bites are the most common types of animal injuries, which cause various types of tissue damage and have a high incidence of wound infections. These infections are often mixed with multiple microorganisms and have their characteristics and complexity. Selecting appropriate antimicrobial drugs for prevention and treatment can help prevent the occurrence of infections and improve the effectiveness of infection treatment. To better prevent and treat wound infections caused by dog and cat bites, this article reviews the research progress in the epidemiology of dog and cat bites, characteristics of wounds, incidence of wound infections, types of infections, common pathogens, infection assessment, and antimicrobial treatment, to provide a reference for the selection of antimicrobial drugs for wound infections caused by dog and cat bites.
