Abstract
Enterotoxigenic staphylococci were isolated from cecum and rectum from 26 (5.8%) of 451 dogs. Of the 30 enterotoxigenic staphylococci isolated, 14 (46.7%) belonged to biotype E, which was considered to be of canine origin (Baird-Parker''s classification modified by Hajek and Marsalek). They produced exclusively enterotoxin type C. This is the 1st evidence of enterotoxigenic staphylococci of canine origin.
