Abstract excerpt

This study investigated the molecular prevalence and antibiotic resistance patterns of Staphylococcus aureus in companion animals with otitis externa in Urmia, Iran. From July 2024 to May 2025, 108 ear swabs were collected from affected dogs (n = 56) and cats (n = 52). Isolates were confirmed using biochemical tests and PCR targeting 16 S rRNA and femA genes. Susceptibility testing followed CLSI standards, and...
