This study included clinical and molecular study of Bordetella bronchiseptica from upper respiratory tract of 150
cats with and without respiratory signs of (60 local breed and 90 different breed) and both sexes (70 male and 80
female) with different ages including 85 cats more than one year and 65 less than one year private veterinary
clinics and Baghdad veterinary hospital in Baghdad city at the period from October 2023 to September
2024.Totally, 150 nasal swabs were collected from cats at aseptic condition to carry out for bacteriology isolation
by culturing Blood agar and Bordet Gengou agar base for culturing of B. bronchiseptica. Then the bacteria were
examined by Gram stain and apply different biochemical and antimicrobial study using Vetik analysis of isolated
bacteria with confirmative diagnosis by molecular detection of FIM gene of B. bronchiseptica. The results of
clinical study showed that the most frequent signs were fever and dyspnea. The total isolation rate of B.
bronchiseptica was 4.6%. The DNA of 7 isolates of B. bronchiseptica was successfully amplified by using
specific primers at 425 bp of FIM gene of B. bronchiseptica.
