Pura, Jammu in the client owned 7 dogs and 1 cattle suffering from surgical site infection and chronic wounds unresponsive to the routine antibiotic therapy regimen. The objectives of this study were to determine the qualitative identification of the bacterial microorganisms in the chronic wound and surgical site infections and identification of the antibiotics effective against identified organisms, by using Antibiotic Sensitivity Test (AST). The samples were collected and cultured in the MacConkey agar and BHI to get the bacterial cultures. The organisms were identified by using catalase and oxidase tests. Pure colonies were again streaked on MHA agar and AST was done. Isolated organisms were colonies of Staphylococcus, E. coli, Pseudomonas and Klebsiella. AST revealed resistance to various higher generation antibiotics and intermediate to sensitive trait to amoxi-clav combination /gentamicin antibiotic.
