Abstract

The article provides data on the study of the qualitative composition of the microflora in purulent and fibrinous conjunctivitis in dogs. The proportion of microbial positive samples has been determined. The biological and biochemical properties of the isolated microorganisms have been studied. Studies have shown a high role of antibiotic-resistant bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, E. coli, Enterobacter spp. in associations. The research results showed a high comparable effectiveness of phage therapy in the treatment of infectious-inflammatory pathologies of the organ of vision in dogs.
