Animal Microbiome Test Standard Cat
The core microbiome of the cat’s skin is made up of several representatives of the Firmicutes, Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria. These representatives include Staphylococcus, Acinetobacter, Cutibacterium and Micrococcus species.
Our “Cat” microbiome test-standard contains 6 key organisms that are typically found on the skin of cats.
Microbial Infectious Diseases in Cats
Although cats are very clean animals, there are some diseases that are associated with an increased occurrence of certain bacterial species on the skin or mucousa.
The most typical bacterial infections in cats include:
– Dermatosis (diseases of the skin and its appendages such as hair, nails, sebaceous glands or sweat glands)
– Scratch disease (infection after a bite or scratch injury)
– Kitty flu
Do you have products that are supposed to be active against these pathogens?
Our laboratory offers special tests on the effectiveness of products against the microbial pathogens that cause these diseases.
