Abstract
This study revealed bacterial infection from different wound type included surgical wound, bite wound, abscess and cancer in 28 dogs and 7 cats from an animal hospital in Chiang Mai, Thailand, between February, 2011 to January, 2016. Each wound was sampled for bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test. Pseudomonas spp. was most detected in dogs (48.85%) and cats (28.57%) with various antimicrobial resistances. Pseudomonas spp. was susceptible to Imipenem and Sulbactam-cefoperazone in dogs, and Amoxicillin-clavulanate, Chloramphenicol, Doxycycline, Imipenem and Sulbactam-cefoperazone in cats. However, Pseudomonas spp. was found resistant to various antimicrobial. Staphylococcus spp. was second most detected in dogs (21.42%) and in cats (21.42%) which found resistant to various antimicrobial as same as others which isolated from wounds included Klebsiella spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus spp., Bacillus spp., Escherichia coli. in dogs and Streptococcus spp., Entrobacter spp. in cats. From this study, we had most common bacterial profile from different type of wounds in dogs and cats which resistant to various antimicrobial.
