ABSTRACT

 

Daniel AGT, Reche A. Aerobic bacteria in cats with or without gingivitis and immunodeficiency virus, Onl J Vet Res., 29 (5): 269-277, 2025. We describe aerobic bacterial population in cats with gingivitis or stomatitis but with or without Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). Two groups of 10 cats each with gingivitis with or without FIV and 10 healthy controls were evaluated. All healthy cats with gingivitis/stomatitis but without FIV had different Staphylococcus spp strains. Of 10 cats with mild to severe gingivitis but without immune deficient virus, two had 1 strain of coagulase negative Staphylococcus sp., two had 2 strains, one had 4 strains, and five had 3 strains. In cats with gingivitis and immuno-deficient virus, one had 1 bacterial species, whereas others had mixes of Staphylococcus saprofiticus, Corynebacterium spp., Streptococcus spp., Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiela pneumoniae, Pseudomonas spp., negative coagulase Staphylococcus spp., Escherichia coli, alpha-hemolytic Streptococcus spp., Shigella spp. or Candida spp. Findings suggest cats infected by FIV are susceptible to opportunistic infections.
