Abstract
Traumatic wounds in dogs and cats are frequent in a clinician veterinarian’s routine. Most of them occur due to either bites from other animals or car accidents. As a result, many wounds become contaminated or infected and do not respond to treatment. The objectives of this study were to evaluate animals with traumatic wounds that present such complications during treatment as increased secretions, change in the color of these secretions or unsuitable healing, to identify bacteria in those wounds and their susceptibility to antimicrobials, and to verify if antimicrobial therapy instituted earlier in the treatment was adequate. To reach this, 18 animals (17 dogs and one cat) with traumatic wounds that presented an unsatisfactory healing process after topic and systemic treatment were used. In these cases, a swab from the wound secretion and bacterial culture in blood agar were performed. Twenty bacterial isolates were obtained. Gram negative bacilli were found in 70% of the cases, and Pseudomonas was thepredominant gender (30%), followed by Proteus (20%). Among the gram positive group (30% of the cases) Staphylococcus and Streptococcus were found with the same frequency. A very low susceptibility (7 % to 53,33 %) of bacteria isolates to the tested antimicrobial drugs was found, emphasizing the need for carrying out these tests in bacteria isolated from animals with contaminated and infected wounds that do not respond to topic and systemic treatments.

As feridas traumáticas em cães e gatos são freqüentes na rotina da clínica veterinária. Em sua maioria são decorrentes de mordidas e atropelamentos. Muitas dessas feridas tornam-se contaminadas ou infectadas, não respondendo ao tratamento utilizado. Os objetivos deste trabalho foram avaliar os dados de animais com feridas traumáticas contaminadas e infectadas que apresentaram complicações durante o tratamento, como aumento da secreção, alteração da sua cor ou cicatrização inadequada, identificar as bactérias presentes nestas feridas e sua suscetibilidade a antibióticos e verificar se os antibióticos utilizados no início do tratamento eram adequados. Para isso realizou-se o acompanhamento de 18 animais (17 cães e um gato) com ferimentos de origem traumática, que não apresentaram boa evolução do quadro com o tratamento tópico e sistêmico instituído. Realizou-se a coleta da secreção de cada ferida com swab e posterior cultura em ágar sangue, obtendo-se 20 isolados bacterianos. Os bacilos Gram negativos foram detectadas em 70 % dos casos, sendo Pseudomonas o gênero predominante (30%), seguido pelo Proteus (20%). Dentre os Gram positivos (30% dos casos), Staphylococus e Streptococcus foram isolados com igual freqüência. Verificou-se susceptibilidade muito baixa das bactérias encontradas aos antimicrobianos testados (7% a 58,33%), enfatizando a necessidade de realização destes testes em bactérias isoladas de animais com ferimentos contaminados e infectados que não respondem adequadamente ao tratamento tópico e sistêmico.
