A variety of bacteria are known or suspected of being able to cause enteritis in dogs and cats. Campylobacter spp, Clostridium difficile, Clostridium perfringens, and Salmonella spp are most commonly implicated, but many other organisms are likely involved. Poor understanding of the intestinal microflora and the fact that many, if not all, of these microorganisms can also be found in healthy individuals complicates testing, thereby affecting the use of specific treatments and assessment of potential infection control and zoonotic disease risks. An understanding of the strengths and limitations of various diagnostic options is important for the management of canine and feline enteritis.
已知或怀疑多种细菌能够引起犬猫肠炎。弯曲杆菌属、艰难梭菌、产气荚膜梭菌和沙门氏菌属最为常见，但可能还有许多其他微生物也有牵连。对肠道微生物群了解不足，以及事实上许多（即便不是全部）这些微生物在健康个体中也能被发现，这使得检测变得复杂，从而影响特定治疗方法的使用以及对潜在感染控制和人畜共患病风险的评估。了解各种诊断方法的优缺点对于犬猫肠炎的管理很重要。
