Isolation of Obligate and Facultative Anaerobic Bacteria from Feline Subcutaneous Abscesses

[摘要] References(14)Cited-By(2)A total of 113 specimens collected from purulent skin lesions of household cats was examined bacteriologically. Ninety seven isolates obtained from 74 specimens (65.5%). Of these, 11 specimens (9.7%) contained obligate anaerobes only, 18 specimens (15.9%) yielded both obligate and facultative anaerobes. In the obligate anaerobes detected, genus Fusobacterium was the most frequently observed and F.nucleatum was most common species. Pasteurella multocida was the facultative anaerobe which was most frequently detected.
