This study was conducted to identify micro-organisms in the conjunctiva of dogs and cats and to evaluate the sensitivity of the isolates against 13 antimicrobials. We used 48 animals, 44 dogs and 04 cats, all healthy adult. The bacteria more frequent in dogs: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Staphylococcus sp., Streptococcus spp., Bacillus spp. Enterobacter sp. and Escherichia coli. It was found in cats Streptococcus spp., Bacillus sp., E. coli and Enterobacter sp. The results indicated that azithromycin, clindamycin, kanamycin, amikacin, rinfampicina, norfloxacin, oxacillin, penicillin, vancomycin, were the antimicrobials in which Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Staphylococcus sp., Streptococcus sp. had a higher degree of sensitivity.

This study was conducted to identify bacteria in vaginal samples of dogs and cats and to evaluate the sensitivity against 14 antibiotics. We used 34 animals, 26 of which were dogs and eight cats. The agents isolated from dogs were coagulase- negative Staphylococcus, Streptococcus sp., Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus spp., Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella sp., Pseudomonas sp. and Escherichia coli. In the samples of the bacteria isolatedcats were Streptococcus sp., Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus vulgaris, Proteus mirabilis and Bacillus sp. The isolates were sensitive in dogs most of the drugs tested with higher degree of resistance to sulfonamide, amikacin, vancomycin, clindamycin and erythromycin. The results indicated that amoxicillin, erythromycin, norfloxacin, oxacillin, clindamycin, kanamycin, penicillin and cefazolin were the antimicrobial agents identified in cats demonstrated higher sensitivity and resistance was observed against drugs sulfonamide, nalidixic acid, amikacin and vancomycin.
