Update on antimicrobial susceptibilities of bacterial isolates from canine and feline otitis externa

Abstract
in English, French

The in vitro susceptibility of a total of 1819 bacterial isolates from canine and 103 isolates from feline otitis externa cases to 13 antimicrobial drugs over a 5-year period was evaluated. Among topically used drugs, 90% of isolates were susceptible to gentamicin. Susceptibility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to gentamicin was 85%, and to polymyxin B 100%. For isolates other than the Pseudomonas sp., susceptibility was highest to amoxicillin-clavulanic acid.

Mise à jour des antibiosensibilités d’isolats de bactéries provenant d’otites externes canines et félines. La sensibilité in vitro à 13 antimicrobiens d’isolats de bactéries provenant d’otites externes canine (1819) et félines (103) a été évaluée sur une période de 5 ans. Parmi les drogues d’usage topique, 90 % des isolats étaient sensibles à la gentamycine. La sensibilité de Pseudomonas aeruginosa était de 85 % à la gentamicine et de 100 % à la polymixyne B. Pour les isolats autres que Pseudomonas sp, la sensibilité était plus élevée à l’amoxicilline-acide clavulanique.
