This investigation's goal was to find Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence factors in canine wound infections. 100 samples were gathered and tested for eight virulence variables utilizing biochemical and molecular techniques for this purpose. According to the findings, women (72%) had the highest isolation ratio. The virulence factors were found in various ratios, with capsule being found in (16.6%) of them, amylase enzyme detected in (3.3%), hemolysin enzyme detected in (70%), protease detected in (10%), phospholipase enzyme detected in (83.3%), urease enzyme detected in (100%), DNAase enzyme detected in (80%), pigments production detected in (93.3%) from wound infections isolates, gal and lasA (86.6%), toxA (16.6%), pslA (96.6%),16SrRNA (100%). From this research, we conclude that dogs are more prone to bacterial infections.
