Abstract
The prevalence of multidrug-resistant bacteria in the community is increasing, and companion animals serve as a potential reservoir for such bacteria. This report describes a case of a companion dog that was treated with multiple courses of antibiotics for a chronic illness and transmitted multidrug-resistant bacteria to a human through a bite.
