Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the antibiotic resistance pattern of Staphylococcus spp. strains isolated from dogs with otitis externa. A total of 36 bacterial samples were evaluated for susceptibility towards 10 antimicrobial agents. The results of the antimicrobial susceptibility tests show that the bacterial isolates were susceptible to enrofloxacin, gentamicin, cephalothin, chloramphenicol and neomycin. Resistance was most common to penicillin G, oxacillin and ampicillin. Among the coagulase-negative staphylococci isolates, S.intermedius was susceptible to enrofloxacin (90.90%), gentamicin (100%), cephalothin (90.90%) and neomycin (81.81%). Coagulase positive S. aureus (CPS)isolates presented more or less the same susceptibility pattern.
