Etiological structure of purulent-septic infections of animals in veterinary practice

For causative agents of purulent-septic processes in animals, the following features are characteristic: polytropism, polyetiology, polyhostality, plasticity and polyadaptationThe purpose of the study was to rank clinically significant pathogens of purulentseptic processes in animals in veterinary practice.Methods. Based on the results for the period 2021-2022, we conducted bacteriological studies of 87 biomaterial samples from sick dogs and cats with skin lesions (abscesses, wounds), otitis media, cystitis, rhinitis, as well as from the corpses of puppies at the age of 3 days.Identification of streptococci and enterococci to species was carried out using the test system: STREPTOtest 24 (Erba Lachema, Czech Republic) and api 20 Strep (BIOMERIEUX, France), api 20 E and Rapid 20 E (BIOMERIEUX) were used to identify enterobacteria. ”, France), Nefermtest 24 (“Erba Lachema”, Czech Republic) was used to identify gram-negative non-fermenting bacteria.Results. 100 isolates were isolated from dogs with purulent-inflammatory processes, among which 18% are gram-negative and 82% are gram-positive microorganisms.
