| Summary: | The One Health concept refers to the inseparability of human, animal and environmental health. The absence of well-being among any of these components generates an imbalance in global health, since One Health was developed from the term “One World, One Health”. Among the factors that jeopardize the balance between the three components mentioned, zoonoses stand out as diseases shared between humans and animals through agents with a microbiological nature. In Brazil, the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre, located in Rio Grande do Sul, encompasses a wide variety of zoonotic microorganisms with a high rate of dissemination through the interaction between the two species and due to the high population of both, such as sporotrichosis. Therefore, the present study aimed to contribute to the concept of one health by seeking to perform the microbiological diagnosis of animals treated at a Veterinary Clinical Center located in the city of Cachoeirinha, Rio Grande do Sul. To this end, monitoring of care provided during the months of March, April and May 2024 was carried out, and samples were collected in cases where there was suspicion of injury caused by microbial agents. The results confirm the high incidence of sporotrichosis in the region and highlight the importance of measures to prevent, diagnose and treat this and other diseases caused by microorganisms. Thus, multidisciplinary action in disseminating knowledge could reduce the impact of zoonoses and other diseases of microbial etiology in the community.
