Özet

To be used as a model in dental and medical research, an animal must fulfil experimental needs and information on the composition and variation of its oral flora must be available. Only limited data are available on the indigenous oral bacterial flora of dogs. In this research, a total of 100 isolates from the same sites of the oral cavities of dogs were identified. Only 17 different species were isolated. The predominant species of the total cultivable flora were Staphylococcus (coagulase +, and - types), and E. coli species. This is thought to be occurred as a result of constant licking habit of these animals.
