Bacterial characterization of the oral cavity of the domestic cat population in the city of campo Grande, MS, Brazil
Owing to the high incidence of domestic animal bites and resultant bacterial infections, this study aimed to identify the main bacteria isolated from the oral microbiota of 50 domestic cats. This is the first study to identify the genus Pseudomonas as the most frequently isolated agent, corresponding to 45% of the samples, followed among the gram-negative bacteria by Acinetobacterlwoffi (8.33%), Achromobacter group F (6.66%), CDC group IIj (5%), Moraxella spp.(3.33%), CDC Group IIF(3.33%), Burkholderia mallei (3.33%), Flavobacterium spp. (1.66%), Kingella spp.
