Profile of external otitis isolates in dogs and cats diagnosed in laboratory of microbiology in 2020 / Profile of otitis externa isolates in dogs and cats diagnosed in laboratory of microbiology in 2020

ABSTRACT

Otitis externa are one of the most frequent diseases in the clinical routine of dogs and cats and they can cause by several associated factors. Due to incorrect use of antimicrobial, the treatment and the control of otitis have become challenging. The objective of this study is analyze results of otological examinations of the Laboratory of Microbiology in 2020, and to demonstrate the profile of patients and isolated bacteria. Staphylococcus was the main genus isolated and 71,11% of samples showed multi drug resistance to antimicrobial tested. This results show the need to use of complementary exams to control of otitis externa. Keywords canines, felines, otological diseases, antimicrobial susceptibilities.

RESUMO

Otitis externa is one of the most frequent diseases in the clinicalroutine of dogs and cats, and they can be caused by several associated factors.Due to incorrect use of antimicrobial products, the treatment and control of otitishave become challenging. This study aims to analyze the results of otologicalexams at the Laboratory of Microbiology HV-ULBRA in 2020 and demonstratethe profie of patients and isolated bacteria. Staphylococcus was the main genusisolated, and 71,11% of samples showed multi-drug resistance to antimicrobialtesting. These results indicate the need to use complementary examinations tocontrol otitis externa.  Keywords canines, felines, otological diseases, antimicrobial susceptibility test
