Abstract
This study was conducted in order to isolate and characterize bacteria and fungi from the healthy ear of dogs and to obtain susceptibility profiles on each bacterial isolate. Samples were obtained from the horizontal external ear canal of 60 healthy dogs. Bacteria were isolated from 62 (52%) and fungi from 19 (16%) ear canals. Staphylococci 36 (59%), Bacillus spp. 19 (31%), streptococci 7 (11%), Scopulariopsis spp. 4 (21%), Aspergillus spp. 2 (11%), Cladosporium spp. 2 (11%), Alternaria spp. 1 (5%), penicillium spp. 1 (5%), and yeasts 9 (47%) were isolated. Susceptibility testing indicated that the most inhibitory antiobiotic was tylosin and the least was bacitracin.
