Antibiotic resistance is a problem of growing importance in veterinary medicine. In
order to ensure that antibiotics are used appropriately, antibiograms are generated to monitor
bacterial susceptibility to antibiotics. The computer program Biomic was used to generate
antibiograms for bacterial isolates from canine, feline, and equine samples sent to the Arizona
Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory between January 1st, 2015 and December 31st, 2016. The
most common specimen types were urine (n=125), ear cultures (n=92), wounds (n=63), and skin
cultures (n=30) for canines, uterine cultures (n=44) and wounds (n=41) for equines, and urine
(n=16) and wounds (n=17) from felines. Of the canine isolates, the most common urine isolate
E. coli was most susceptible to amikacin and chloramphenicol (92%), the most common ear
isolate P. aeruginosa was most susceptible to amikacin (74%), the most common skin isolate
Staphylococcus coagulase-negative was most susceptible to marbofloxacin, amikacin,
