In this study we will be investigating the prevalence of zoonotic bacteria in dog faeces collected from public recreational parks in Cambridge. More specifically, we will be looking for E. coli, Salmonella, Campylobacter and Yersinia sp. which are known to cause gastrointestinal disease in humans. We will be using microbiological, biochemical and molecular techniques to identify the bacteria. We will then investigate the antibiotic resistance profiles of isolated bacteria in order to determine the risk of spread of antibiotic resistance and the impact this could have on public health.
