The present work was conducted to investigate the drug susceptibility of microorganisms isolated from canine external ear canals. Antifungal susceptibility test of M pachydermatis (17 strains) was perfomed by agar dilution method, using 11 antifungal drugs including amphotericin B(A), nystatin(N), pimaricin(P), griseofulvin(G), bifonazole(B), clotrimazole(C), miconazole(M), econazole(E), ketoconazole(K), tolnaftate(T), 5-fluorocytosine(F). All isolates were highly sensitive to K, M, T(geometric mean MIC ; GM MIC¡Â0.16§¶/§¢) but they weren¢¥t sensitive to P, F and G(GM MIC¡Ã92.37§¶/§¢¡¡Ã128§¶/§¢).
Antibacterial susceptibility test against 119 isolates of bacteria was performed by agar dilution method, using 9 antibacterial drugs including erythromycin(ET), chloramphenicol(CP), gentamycin(G), vancomycin(V), ampicillin(AP), amoxacillin(AX), chlortetracycline(CT), ciprofloxacin(CF), enrofloxacin(EF). All isolates of Staphylococcus spp(101 strains) were highly sensitive to EF, CF, G (GM MIC 0.33¡1.47§¶/§¢). In other gram positive cocci(4 strains), they were highly sensitive to EF, CF, V(GM MIC 1¡4.76§¶/§¢) and CT(GM MIC 1 UFL unit/§¢). In gram positive rods(13 strains), they were highly sensitive to EF, CF, G(GM MIC ¡Â0.19¡1§¶/§¢). In Pseudomonas aeruginosa(1 strain), it was highly sensitive to AX, EF, ET, CF(GM MIC 0.06¡1§¶/§¢) and CT (GM MIC 1 UFL unit/§¢). All isolates weren¢¥t sensitive to AP(GM MIC 16¡$gt;32§¶/§¢).
