Abstract

In the City of Guayaquil, the present study was conducted with the objective of determining the presence of bacteria in urine of Canis lupus familiaris gerontes apparently healthy treated in the veterinary clinics "Perla del Pacifico" and "Veterinaria Chonillo" in the city of Guayaquil. The presence of bacteria was diagnosed by means of the centrifugation technique and without centrifuging using the urine of the canines to analyze it on a slide. Its specific objective was to determine which of the two techniques is most susceptible to the diagnosis of bacteria in the urine, with the variables of sex, race and age. The study was performed in a total of 100 patients: in which a urine sample was taken by tube or by cystocentesis to be able to put them in a test tube and centrifuge part of the sample and another part without centrifuging and being analyzed. The results were: Gram-bacteria were more susceptible to the centrifuge technique and without centrifugation. According to sex according to age, the largest population was 7 to 10 years old. The prevalence of the breed the mestizos (46%) and the others pure breeds (48%) presented a larger population. The frequency of gram +, gram - and mixed bacteria according to the technique without centrifuging according to sex, males obtained 51.72% in gram +. 71.70% in gram- and mixed was 61.11%, in the case of females in gram + 48.28%, gram - 28.30% and mixed with 38.89%. It is recommended to have the necessary hygienic measures for handling the urine sample and thus avoid contamination of the sample.
