Many pathogenic genes found in Pantoea spp. contribute to the development of numerous human illnesses. Therefore, in the present study, a total of 60 samples from canned and packaged pet food products were examined. Out of these, 10 Pantoea spp. isolates were confirmed using 16S rRNA gene Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology. Subsequently, all the Pantoea spp. isolates were analyzed for the occurrence of specific virulence genes, namely cbl and cytR, using the PCR technique. The results indicated that the cbl gene was prevalent in 90.0% of the isolates, with nine out of ten isolates showing its presence. On the other hand, the cytR gene was found in 78.8% of the Pantoea spp. isolates, specifically in seven out of ten samples.
