Antibiogram of Microbes Associated with Otitis in Canines

The study was aimed at determining the microbial prevelance in 100 dogs of various breeds found positive for otitis based on history and clinical observations. Ear swabs were collected aseptically and subjected to microbiological examination. In all 96 bacterial isolates were recovered during microbiological screening of these Staphylococci sp. were 30 (31%), E. coli 25 (26%), Pseudomonas sp. 16 (16%), Proteus sp.10 (10%). Antibiogram pattern of Staphylococci sp. revealed highest sensitivity to Ciprofloxacin (76.66%) and least to Azithromycin (56.66%), E. coli was sensitive to Gentamicin (92%) and Pseudomonas sp. was highly sensitive to Polymixin-B (93.75%) followed by Ciprofloxacin (87.5%).
