The present study was conducted to determine patterns of multidrug resistance and Escherichia coli resistance in stray cats. A total of 50 stray cat anal swab samples were taken randomly from the previously recorded stray cat population in the Surabaya area, East Java, Indonesia. Samples were brought using buffered peptone water. They were cultured on MacConkay Agar differential selective media, and all suspicious colonies of Escherichia coli were examined by biochemical tests. Isolates were then identified, and susceptibility testing was performed according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. The results of the resistance test indicated that the multidrug resistance in Escherichia coli bacteria taken from cats was 14.6 (7/48). The high antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli bacteria in stray cats, which were resistant to many drugs, provides an early warning of environmental health. Environmental health is closely related to animal and human health, especially antibiotic resistance. © The Author(s) 2024. date: 2024-09-25 publication: World's Veterinary Journal volume: 14 number: 3 publisher: Scienceline Publication, Ltd pagerange: 373-379 id_number: 10.54203/scil.2024.wvj44 refereed: TRUE issn: 2322-4568 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85206320366&doi=10.54203%2fscil.2024.wvj44&partnerID=40&md5=aaf17bb595427fd1127a2387e529c70d j_index: scopus citation: (2024) Multidrug Resistance in Stray Cats of The North Surabaya Region, East Java, Indonesia.
