Abstract

Veterinary clinic environments contain a variety of pathogens that can cause infection in animals. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most common Gram-negative nosocomial pathogens due to its versatility in nutrients and universal presence. Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus aureus usually colonize the skin, mucous membranes, urogenital tract, and occasionally the alimentary tract in dogs and humans.  This study was carried out on 250 samples collected from different clinics in Egypt for isolation of Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas spp. Among 250 samples, 125 samples were used for Staphylococcus isolation, revealing 77 samples had staphylococcus, with high count in floor and examination table respectively, while another 125 samples were used for Pseudomonas isolation, revealing 80 samples showed growth of Pseudomonas with high count in floor and examination table respectively. present especially in the examination table and floor. The improper cleaning program and disinfection lead to high results for isolated Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas species in the environmental surfaces in small animal's clinics
