“…In contrast, amphotericin B and nystatine seem to be less effective compounds in the treatment of fungal canine otitis. Some authors have found nystatine to be an effective compound against fungi (CROSS, 1962;HARVEY, 1980), especially Candida (STUDDERT andHUGHES 1991). Maybe its general use in commercial preparations has resulted in increasing the number of resistant strains; the same explanation could be applied to amphotericin B.…”

It is important to test the antimicrobial sensitivity of the aetiological agents of otitis externa before starting treatment in order to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance in the microorganisms. In this study the sensitivity patterns in bacteria and yeasts isolated as aetiological agents from otitis externa were analysed. Antifungal and antibacterial activity tests were done using the automated system ATB Fungus and the classic diffusion test respectively. The azole compounds had the greatest antifungal properties, while /?-lactams had the strongest antibiotic activity. This study reflects the increasing importancc of sensitivity tests in chronic otitis externa due to the increasing antimicrobial resistances in bacteria and yeasts. If it is necessary to initiate an empiric treatment before the results of the antimicrobial test, the application of miconazole or econazole for yeasts and oxacillin or amoxicillin-clavulanic acid against bacteria is recommended.

Summary The microbiological characteristics of otic exudates from 26 dogs with chronic otitis externa was studied with special reference to the implication of yeasts in the aetiology of the disease. A high frequency of yeasts and Staphylococcus aureus were isolated, alone or in association. In reference to the yeasts, there was a clear predominance of the genus Candida (48 % of the total yeasts). Malassezia (Pytirosporum) represented only 3 % of the isolates. It can be concluded that yeasts have an important role in the pathogenicity of this disease. For the microbiological diagnosis of otitis externa, we recommend the simultaneous use of Columbia/5 % Sheep Blood Agar and Sabouraud‐Dextrose without antibiotic addition, the use of 37 °C as the incubation temperature and direct microscopic observation of the sample before culture.
