Abstract

Introduction. The intestinal microbiota (IM) is composed of a set of bacteria, which produce metabolites that influence the health of the host. Alterations in diversity and composition are known as dysbiosis. Objective. To identify the intestinal microbiota in canines with acute hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. Methodology.  The feces of 10 canines were analyzed using standard bacteriological cultures and their qualitative assessment by direct coproparasitic. Results. 69.4% of the isolated bacteria are part of the normal intestinal microbiota, mostly bacteria of the Enterobacteriaceae family, and in 30.6% bacteria considered pathogenic were isolated (Shigella 23% and Aeromona hydrophila 7.6%). In 100% of the samples in the direct evaluation an increase in the intestinal microbiota was reported. Conclusion. Bacteriological cultures did not allow to identify all the bacteria present in the feces, while direct evaluation did allow to identify alterations in the amount of bacteria, determining dysbiosis states in less time. Molecular diagnosis would allow the identification of all bacteria present in both healthy patients and patients with gastroenteric diseases.
