Detection of Staphylococcus and Escherichia coli in the ocular microbiota of Persian cats abstract

This study aimed to characterize the microbial and fungal flora in the eyes of 100 Persian cats and investigate their potential role in ocular health and disease in this breed. The composition and prevalence of microorganisms were determined using laboratory techniques such as culture and fungal isolation. The results revealed a diverse range of bacterial and fungal species present in the conjunctiva of Persian cats. Gram-positive bacteria, including Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., and Corynebacterium spp., were commonly identified as commensals, suggesting a healthy ocular microbiome. However, certain bacterial species associated with ocular disease in other feline breeds were also found, such as Pseudomonas spp. The presence of pathogenic bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, highlights the potential role of specific species in the development and progression of ocular conditions in Persian cats. Fungal species, including Aspergillus spp., Candida spp., and Malassezia spp., were also detected, emphasizing the need to consider fungal etiologies in the diagnosis and management of ocular diseases in this breed. This knowledge will contribute to improved veterinary ophthalmology practices and aid in the diagnosis and treatment of ocular conditions in Persian cats and other feline breeds.
