Abstract

Superficial pyoderma is a common complication of a range of feline and canine skin diseases. The objective of the present study is to retrospectively evaluate bacterial and fungal skin culture samples in superficial pyoderma cases of cats and dogs and to reveal in detail the pathogens and their susceptibility and/or resistance to antimicrobials, as well as demographic data and clinical symptoms of the patients. Medical records of 28 cats and 35 dogs meeting the criteria for inclusion were reviewed. Staphylococcus spp. and Trichophyton species were found to be the most common cultured microorganisms in both cats and dogs. Antimicrobial resistance was determined both in cat and dog samples. As a result, it has been demonstrated that skin culture is particularly important for the management of diagnosis and treatment processes and the regulation of treatment protocols in pyoderma in terms of preventing the increasing antibiotic resistance in recent years and thus protecting both human and animal health.
