Abstract
Bacteria were isolated from pyoderma in 62 dogs, and the isolates were subjected to identification. As a result, Staphylococcus aureus was detected in 20 cases (32%), S. intermedius in 19 cases (31%), S. hominis in 5 cases (8%), S. epidermidis in 5 cases (8%), S. hyicus in 3 cases (4.8%), S. simulans and S. saprophyticus in one case each (1.6%). These cases were classified by the degree of pyodermal infiltration. Eleven cases belonged to superficial pyoderma, 34 cases to outer stratum pyoderma, and 17 cases belonged to deep stratumpyoderma.
