Abstract: This study was designed to investigate Staphylococcus lentus as an etiological agent of ear infection in dogs and cats in Baghdad during the period between 1 may 2025 till 1august 2025. Biochemical and molecular study revealed presence of 8 strains of this bacteria 5 out of 50 in dogs and 3 out of 50 in cats. Antibiotic sensitivity test was done using ordinary antibiotics and this shows clear disparity between antibiotics used that extends from 100% resistant to penecillnes and 100% sensitive to gentamicin and this was in disagreement with a lot of studies even that done in Iraq. We conclude that Staphylococcus lentus which isolated from dog and cat otitis, measured as a pathogenic bacteria and it has the capability to cause illness as well as multi antibiotic resistance.
