Scientists have found a strong association between dogs excreting ciprofloxacin-resistant E. coli and feeding them a raw diet.
E. coli, which can lead to food poisoning, is also the United Kingdom’s top cause of urinary tract and bloodstream infections.
Ciprofloxacin belongs to a group of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones, which treat bacterial infections

Foodborne bacterial infections are becoming harder to treat, according to a report on antimicrobial resistance from EFSA and ECDC.
Salmonella and Campylobacter are increasingly resistant to ciprofloxacin, one of the main antibiotics for treating infections they cause, said the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and European Food

Scientists in the European Union have found that a high proportion of Campylobacter in humans is resistant to ciprofloxacin, an antibiotic critically important for the treatment of human diseases.
That is a key finding of a report released jointly last week by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the
