Abstract
Various impacts can be attributed to SSIs. Some, such as patient morbidity, patient mortality and increased treatment costs, are readily quantifiable. Others, such as client frustration and grief, veterinary frustration, potential liability and negative public perceptions may be very important but difficult to evaluate. Swab samples for bacteriology testing were taken from thirty pets (7dogs and 23 cats) during different abdominal operations (15cesarean section, 10 ovariohysterictomy, and 5 hernia) for detection of bacterial contamination associated with abdominal surgeries in pets. Infection rate was 53.3%(16 positive cases out of 30) and different nine isolates were identified Escherichia coli was the most prevalent finding (6/16 [37.5%]), followed by coagulase negative staphylococci (5/16 [31.25%]),then Aerococcus viridians (3/16 [18.75%]),and Klebsiella pneumonia (3/16 [18.75%]), then streptococci (mitis and acidominimus) (2/16 [12.5%]), also enterobacter aerogens (2/16 [12.5%]), Staphylococcus aureus (1/16 [6.25%]), Enterococcus faecalis(1/16 [6.25%]) and Pseudomonas aeroginosa (1/16 [6.25%]). All isolates were subjected to antibiogram sensitivity and determination of only one staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), 11 ESBL (extended-spectrum beta-lactamase) producing strains of enterobacteriaceae, and also 5 MDR isolates were identified
