Abstract

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the in-vitro antibiotic and antifungal sensitivity test of the 55 bacterial and 20 fungal  isolates from otitis dogs. The antibiotic sensitivity test for coagulase-positive Staphylococcus species revealed the highest sensitivity to  ceftriaxone & tazobactam (100.00%), Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species to Ceftriaxone & tazobactam and Enrofloxacin (100.00%),  Streptococcus species to Enrofloxacin & Ofloxacin (88.88%); however, Gram-negative organisms like Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas  species revealed highest (100.00%) sensitivity to enrofloxacin. Malassezia pachydermatis and Candida species revealed 100% sensitivity  to Ketoconazole, Clotrimazole, and Itraconazole in AFST.
