چکیده :

Recently, pets animals become closest friends to human because they share an emotional conjunctive with their owners. Pets‘ animals: Cats and dogs are the most animal breeding by human. Highly closet habit with animal leads them to expose the potential risk to infected and spread zoonotic infections such as S. aureus. Staphylococcus is one of the most frequently isolated genera of opportunistic bacteria in animals and human in the skin and mucous membranes. This research aimed to investigate whether staphylococcus transmitted from cats to their owner. Samples were obtained from the saliva of thirty cats and their owner each sample was cultured by mannitol salt agar and blood agar. Oxidase, catalase, coagulase, and gram stain were performed to diagnosis the Staphylococcus spp. And used VITEC method for identified Staphylococcus species. The result was shown proportion of cat samples that showed a growth of gram-positive Staphylococci was 70% (21 out of 30), 52.4% of these 21 samples showed growth of gram-positive Staphylococci in cat owners (11 out of 21). VITEC result confirmed the isolate was Staphylococcuscat sciuri. Conclusion: The result was concluded highly possibility transmitted normal flora Staphylococcus sciuri from cat to owner.
