This survey was performed to investigate the seroprevalence of antibodies to Brucella canis in dogs from public animal shelters and breeding kennels in Incheon. A total of 402 dogs selected randomly were tested serologically by using immunochromatographic antibody test kit. None of 289 dogs in public animal shelters were sero-positive and 10 (8.9%) of 113 dogs in breeding kennels were sero-positive. 5 (4.4%) strains of Brucella canis were isolated from 10 sero-positive dogs’blood. Antimicrobial susceptibility test was carried out by Disk diffusion method. They were susceptible to tetracyclines, quinolones, aminoglycosides and combination amoxicillin with clavulanic acid.
