Abstract

The article presents the results of a study of the antibacterial effect of shampoo with chlorhexidine for dogs and cats. It was found that with serial dilution of antibacterial shampoo in meatpeptone broth, it prevents the growth of E. coli in dilutions of 1:10 and 1:100; S. aureus in dilutions of 1:10 and 1:100; P. aeruginosa in dilutions of 1:10 and 1:100; S. enterica in dilutions of 1:10, 1:100 and 1:1000; P. vulgaris in breeding 1:10 and 1:100. And it was also found that the test sample interferes with the growth of E. coli at a dilution of 1:10 on the Endo medium; S. aureus in dilution of 1:10 and 1:100 on elective, salt agar; P. aeruginosa in dilution of 1:10 per MPA; S. enterica in dilution of 1:10, 1:100 and 1:1000 per MPA; P. vulgaris in dilution of 1:10 and 1:100 per MPA. Thus, even at a concentration of 1:10, the shampoo has an antiseptic effect. It is recommended to use shampoo in the initial concentration.
