Abstract
B.bronchiseptica is pathogenic for some domestic and wild animals. Due to the importance
of this bacterium, its presence in dogs and cats has been investigated using PCR. Pharyngeal
and nasal swabs were taken from 135 dogs and 42 cats. Based on the PCR performed on the
dogs' samples, in 25/63 (39.68%) pharyngeal samples and 20/59 (33.89%) nasal samples DNA
of B. bronchiseptica detected. On the other hand, according to the PCR performed on the cats'
samples, in 9/23 (39.13%) pharyngeal samples and 319 (15.78%) nasal samples DNA of B.
bronchiseptica was existed. According to the present study, the rate of B. bronchiseptica
infection is high among dogs and cats in Iran. Also, due to the fact that the prevalence of this
bacterium among pets animals is not exactly known in Iran, necessary measures should be taken
for rapid diagnosis and treatment and proper control of the infection.
