Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most commonly isolated bacterium from skin lesions of dogs with post-grooming furunculosis (PGF). It is frequently found in human hair and skin care products, and may pose a health risk to consumers. Information regarding the prevalence of P. aeruginosa contamination of dog grooming products is lacking.
To investigate the prevalence of P. aeruginosa contamination in nonmedicated dog grooming products after either home or professional use in pet grooming salons, and to identify risk factors that may be associated with contamination.
Of 117 bottles of grooming products sampled for bacterial culture, 97 were used by pet grooming salons and 20 were used by private individuals. The following suspected risk factors were recorded: bottle size, relative remaining volume, content dilution, expiration date and ingredient list.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated from 14 of 117 samples [11.97%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 6.97-19.3%]. Diluted products were contaminated significantly more often compared to undiluted products (odds ratio = 15.5, 95%CI 2.05-117.23; P < 0.01). None of the other variables was significantly associated with P. aeruginosa contamination.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa contamination of dog grooming shampoos and conditioners was significantly associated with product dilution. Contaminated grooming products may predispose dogs to severe bacterial skin infections such as PGF.
绿脓假单胞菌是犬在理完发后发生化脓性皮肤病（PGF）时皮肤损伤中最常分离出的细菌。它经常在人类的毛发和皮肤护理产品中被发现，可能对消费者构成健康风险。有关犬理毛产品中绿脓假单胞菌污染的流行情况的信息很少。
调查在宠物美容院的家庭或专业使用后，非药物性犬用理毛产品中绿脓假单胞菌污染的流行情况，并确定可能与之相关的污染危险因素。
从 117 瓶用于细菌培养的理毛产品中，有 97 瓶来自宠物美容院，20 瓶来自个人使用。记录了以下疑似危险因素：瓶身大小、剩余体积、内容物稀释度、失效日期和成分清单。
从 117 个样本中分离出 14 株绿脓假单胞菌[11.97%，95%置信区间（CI）为 6.97-19.3%]。与未稀释产品相比，稀释产品的污染率明显更高（比值比=15.5，95%CI 2.05-117.23；P<0.01）。其他变量均与绿脓假单胞菌污染无显著相关性。
犬用洗发香波和护发素中绿脓假单胞菌的污染与产品稀释显著相关。受污染的理毛产品可能使狗易患严重的细菌性皮肤感染，如 PGF。
