“…Epithelial homeostasis and tissue health are maintained by skin commensals. Bacterial overproliferation can trigger skin inflammation and diseases [ 9 ]. As shown in Figure-2 , the most common cause of otitis externa was bacterial infection, whereas the most common bacterial genera found in the ear canal were Staphylococcus , Pseudomonas , and Proteus .…”

Background and Aim: Ear disease is relatively important in veterinary medicine as it significantly affects the quality of life of pets. Two hundred and twenty-one cases of canine ear diseases were collected and collated at the Xi'an Teaching Hospital of Northwest A&F University from 2012 to 2016. An epidemiological analysis was conducted to evaluate the prevalence and causes of various ear diseases in various breeds of dogs in Xi'an. Materials and Methods: Data were collected and statistically analyzed by reviewing previous cases and obtaining medical history data and laboratory results. This study included the following experiments: systematic examination of the animals' skin, auricular skin scraping test, ear canal endoscopy, and examination of ear canal secretion. Results: The top three dog breeds most commonly afflicted with ear diseases in Xi'an were Toy poodles , Cocker Spaniels, and Golden Retrievers, accounting for 18.5%, 10.4%, and 9.5% of the total cases, respectively. The prevalence was the highest in August and September, with male dogs having a higher prevalence rate than female dogs. Common ear diseases were categorized as otitis externa, otitis media, otitis interna, or ear hematoma. Conclusion: This study determined the prevalence of external otitis, ear hematoma, otitis media, and inner otitis in dogs in the Xi'an area. These results can help expand the current understanding of the development and epidemiology of canine ear diseases and provide a reference for clinical diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Keywords: dog, epidemiology, otitis externa, Northwest of China.

“…The most common cause of acute otitis externa is a bacterial infection caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (20-60% prevalence) and Staphylococcus aureus (10-70% prevalence), 2 of 10 occurring as a polymicrobial infection [5]. Rarely, it may result from a fungal infection caused by Candida albicans or Aspergillus sp [6].…”

(1) Background: Otitis externa (OE) is a common inflammatory disease of the external ear canal. Given the numerous manifestations of OE, the high rate of recurrence of the disease, as well as the emergence of resistance to antibiotics, therapeutic strategies are numerous and still not well standardized. The aim of this study was to investigate the patient journey of Italian patients suffering from OE, paying greater attention to new therapeutic options. (2) Methods: We conducted a national survey to evaluate the characteristics of patients affected by OE and to analyze the most-prescribed treatments. (3) Results: OE is a common, often relapsing disease that has several clinical manifestations. Prior to observation, the combination of corticosteroids and topical antibiotics was the most common therapeutic strategy. At the time of observation, new liposomal ozone-based preparations were the most-prescribed treatment. (4) Conclusions: This multi-center study investigated key aspects of the OE patient journey, highlighting the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. Restoring a correct ear microbiome is the therapeutic goal. In this context, new liposomal ozone-based drugs represent a promising therapeutic strategy.
