In the present research work with the objective of determining the bacterial etiological agents involved in corneal ulcer infection in canines from Trujillo, 27 dogs were taken during the period between November - February 2020, under the inclusion criteria: any range of age, race, sex, confirmed with corneal ulcer by means of the fluorescein test and with a history of the pathology. They were examined and sampled to determine the bacterial agent by Gram staining and growth in microbiological cultures, in addition the variables sex, age, breed, living with other animals, severity, affected eye, clinical signs, and alterations that influence the presentation of this disease were evaluated. pathology. A total of 44 isolates were obtained, with Staphylococcus sp. (38%), the most frequently isolated bacterial species. Adult dogs (51.7%), purebred (65%), males (62%), living with other animals (72%), with unilateral lesion (44%), trichiasis (63%), blepharitis (60 %), conjunctivitis (53%) and deep ulcer (47%) were the most frequent findings. The Chi-square test determined the association of superficial severity with clinical signs of epiphora (p=0.009), hypopyon (p=0.000), edema (p=0.000), pain (p=0.026) and uveitis (p=0.045); and deep severity with epiphora (p=0.035), hypopyon (p=0.001), photophobia (p=0.031), edema (p=0.002) and uveitis (p=0.045). It is concluded that Staphylococcus sp. It is the most frequent bacterial agent of corneal ulcer, manifested in adult, purebred, male dogs that lived with other animals, with alterations such as trichiasis, conjunctivitis, and blepharitis. Likewise, significant association between the clinical sign of pain and superficial severity, and photophobia for deep severity. Being epiphora, hypopyon, edema, and uveitis, associated for both presentations of severity.
