ABSTRACT

 

Sarchahi AA, Haghkhah M, Firouzi R, Yarinasab F, Bacteria and fungi in external ear canal of 60 dogs, Onl J Vet Res., 29 (8): 465-476, 2025. This study was conducted to isolate, characterize and test antibiotic susceptibility of bacteria and fungi from 60 normal canine ear canals. Bacteria were isolated from 62 (52%) and fungi from 19 (16%) ear canals. Staphylococci 36 (59%), Bacillus spp. 19 (31%), streptococci 7 (11%), Scopulariopsis spp. 4 (21%), Aspergillus spp. 2 (11%), Cladosporium spp. 2 (11%), Alternaria spp. 1 (5%), penicillium spp. 1 (5%), and yeasts 9 (47%) were also found. Susceptibility testing suggested tylosin was most inhibitory and bacitracin least.

 

Key words: Bacteria, Dog, Ear, Normal flora, Antimicrobial susceptibility.
