The bacteriological and clinical assessment of a new preparation for the treatment of otitis externa in dogs and cats

Abstract: The efficacy of a preparation (Oterna—Glaxo Laboratories Ltd) for use in the treatment of otitis externa in small animals has been assessed bacteriologically. The aetiology of the disease was studied in 133 ears of cats and dogs; normal ears were examined by comparison. Pityrosporum canis and staphylococci were the organisms most commonly isolated; their incidence was much higher in clinically affected ears than in normal ears. Gram‐negative organisms were found only in diseased ears. Seventy‐three clinical ca… Show more

“…12,13 Organisms have been identified by both cytologic and culture techniques. Organisms cultured from the external ears of dogs without ear disease include Staphylococcus, [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] Bacillus sp., 14,17,18 yeast, [14][15][16][17][18][19][20]22 Escherichia coli, 18,21,22 Corynebacterium sp., [14][15][16][17][18]20 streptococci, [14][15][16][17][18]21 and Micrococcus sp. 16 However, when these organisms were isolated, they were isolated from very few ears (with the exception of Bacillus sp.…”

“…A wide range of isolation rates for M. pachydermatis from otitis externa-affected dogs have been reported [15], with some reports as high as 82.8% [14]. These rates depend on the existence and type of treatment.…”

“…β-Thujaplicin suppressed the growth of M. pachydermatis in clinically applicable concentrations similar to those of other antifungal agents. As β-thujaplicin has a wide antibacterial spectrum [11], this drug is estimated to be effective in the treatment of canine otitis externa with a variety of microorganisms [14]. In regard to anti-inflammatory and deodorant action, β-thujaplicin possibly controls inflammation and offensive odors resulting from otitis externa.…”
