This study was
conducted to detect the distribution of bacterial and mycotic agents and the
antimicrobial susceptibility of bacterial isolates from dogs with infective
otitis externa for an 11-year period. Samples, collected from the external ear
canal of 475 dogs, were analysed by conventional bacteriological and
mycological methods between the years of 2005 and 2016. Antimicrobial
susceptibility of the isolates was determined by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion
method. Bacterial growth was observed in 328 of 475 swab samples collected from
the dogs. Of
434 isolated bacteria, 281 isolates (64.7%) were Gram-positive cocci, 151
isolates (34.8%) were Gram-negative rods and 2 isolates (0.5%) were
Gram-positive rods. The most frequently isolated microorganisms was Staphylococcus intermedius (18.7 %),
followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(12.9%), Escherichia coli (7.1%) Proteus mirabilis (6.7 %) Micrococcus spp (4.1%) and Streptococcus canis (2.5 %). Mycological
growth was also observed from 213 of 475 matching swabs. The results showed
that the need for bacterial culture and antimicrobial susceptibility tests for
appropriate antimicrobial therapy. Mycological culture should also be performed
in infectious otitis externa cases of dogs.

Bu çalışma, 11 yıllık bir süre boyunca infektif otit eksternaları olan
köpeklerden bakteriyel ve mikotik ajanların dağılımını ve bakteriyel
izolatların antimikrobiyal duyarlılıklarını saptamak amacıyla yapıldı.
2005-2016 yılları arasında, 475 köpeğin dış kulak kanalından toplanan
numuneler, geleneksel bakteriyolojik ve mikolojik yöntemlerle incelendi.
İzolatların antimikrobiyal duyarlılıkları Kirby-Bauer disk difüzyon yöntemi ile
belirlendi. Köpeklerden toplanan 475
sürüntü örneğinin 328'inde bakteriyolojik üreme gözlendi. İzole edilen 434
bakteriden 281’i (% 64.7) Gram pozitif
kok, 151’i (% 34.8) Gram negatif çomak ve 2 izolat (%0.5) Gram pozitif basil
olarak belirlendi. En sık izole edilen mikroorganizma Staphylococcus intermedius’tu (% 18.7),
bunu Pseudomonas aeruginosa (% 12.9),
Escherichia coli (% 7.1), Proteus mirabilis (% 6.7), Micrococcus spp (% 4.1) ve Streptococcus canis (% 2.5) izledi. Aynı
zamanda, 475 swabın 213'ünde mikolojik üreme de görüldü. Sonuçlar, uygun antimikrobiyal tedavi için bakteri kültürü ve
antimikrobiyal duyarlılık testlerine ihtiyaç duyulduğunu göstermektedir. Bunun
yanısıra, köpeklerin enfeksiyöz otitis eksterna olgularında mikolojik kültür de
yapılmalıdır.
