The study of shared bacterial and fungal microbiota of human and pets as a possible source of antibiotic resistance Summary: The microbiological aspect of the pet and owner relationship focuses on the microorganisms forming the microbiome. The sharing of the household by the owner and the pet is reflected in the two-way communication of the microbiota. The aims of the dissertation is to determine the microbial spectrum of bacteria and yeasts that can be cultivated in vitro in standard laboratory conditions. Antibiotic treatment in the last year could influence colonization by resistant microorganisms, therefore the abundance of shared bacterial and yeast species showing the same antimicrobial resistance phenotype between owners and their pets were monitored with respect to behavioral models. A total of 1156 samples were obtained from 120 owners' households and 80 control group participants without pet. Nasal mucosa, intertoe space, axillae, and auditory cannula swabs were collected from 145 owners and nasal mucosa and auditory cannula samples from 128 pets. 320 samples from the same anatomical locations like in owners were also provided to a control group of 80 people who have no contact with any animal for more than 1 year. All owners filled in a questionnaire with a statement regarding their relationship...
