Antibiotic Susceptibility Pattern of Bacterial Pathogens Isolated from Canine Superficial Pyoderma

Out of 205 dogs affected with skin infection, 32 dogs were found positive for superficial pyoderma infections which were subjected for bacterial culture and isolation. A total of 43 bacterial isolates were recovered from the skin of 32 dogs affected with superficial pyoderma. Among the 43 bacterial isolates, S. intermedius, S. aureus, S. epidermidis, E. coli, Klebsiella spp. and Pseudomonas spp. were identified with the prevalence of 75, 18.75, 6.25, 18.75, 9.38 and 6.25%, respectively. All the isolates were sensitive to cephalexin (100%) followed by amoxicillin clavulanic acid (95.34%), enrofloxacin (86.04%), ceftriaxone (41.86%), gentamicin (30.2%) and tetracycline (9.30%).
