ABSTRACT

Escherichia coli is a ubiquitous and enteric commensal organism of warm-blooded animals. Nevertheless, its pathogenic strains possess higher risks for both animals and public health as these are zoonotic in nature. It causes a range of pathogenesis including severe enteric manifestation in all age groups of humans and animals. Mostly, this may contract through ingestion of contaminated food and water. In this study, the detection of E. coli from dogs and cats comprising different health statuses in Braj was carried out using cultural and biochemical tests. Overall, the percentage of E. coli detection was 61.43% from the faecal samples collected in which 61.66% and 60% were from dogs and cats respectively.
