Abstract :
A cross sectional experimental study was
conducted to ascertain the prevalence of potential
zoonotic bacterial pathogen in household pet animals
(dog, cat and rabbit). The study was done in selected
areas of Dinajpur district during the period of July 2016
to June 2017. A total of 79 pet animals comprising of 50
(63.29%) dogs; 10 (12.66%) cats and 19 (24.05%)
rabbits were observed and samples were collected
considering different socio demographic variable. The
organisms were isolated by using standard
microbiological techniques. A total of 404 samples were
examined and 7 isolates of potential zoonotic bacterial
pathogens were isolated in pet animals. The overall
prevalence of zoonotic pathogens in dogs out of 250
samples, was 15.2% E. coli; 10.8% Klebsiella spp; 12%
Salmonella spp; 8% Proteus spp; 8.8% Pseudomonas
spp; 12% Staphylococcus spp; 10.4% Streptococcus spp
respectively. The overall prevalence of zoonotic
pathogens in cats out of 40 samples was 17.5% E.coli;
10% Klebsiella spp; 12.5% Salmonella spp; 10%
Proteus spp; 10% Pseudomonas spp; 15%
Staphylococcus spp; 15% Streptococcus spp respectively.
The overall prevalence of zoonotic pathogens in rabbits
was 12.28% E.coli; 7.89% Klebsiella spp; 9.65%
Salmonella spp; 4.38% Proteus spp; 1.75%
Pseudomonas spp; 6.14% Staphylococcus spp; 6.14%
Streptococcus spp respectively. The prevalence of
bacterial zoonotic pathogen between pet animals and
housing system, hygienic condition, vaccination were
statistically significant (P≤ 0.01). On the other hand the
prevalence of bacterial zoonotic pathogen between pet
animals and age, sex, breed, body weight, diet,
educational status of pet owners were not statistically
significant (P> 0.05). On antibiogram study 18
antibiotics were used for antimicrobial sensitivity test.
Gram negative isolates were more sensitive against
Chloramphenicol, Cephalexin, Gentamycin and
Kanamycin. On the other hand gram positive isolates
were more sensitive against Azithromycin,
Levofloxacin, Colistin and Gentamycin. The isolates
were highly resistant against Amoxycillin, Bacitracin,
Penicillin and Vancomycin
