Abstract:
This study focused on assessing the antibiogram profiles of Pseudomonas isolates obtained from canine otitis externa cases. A total of 263 dogs, spanning various ages and breeds, were examined at the Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry, Anjora, Durg, as well as several Government Veterinary hospitals and Private Pet Clinics in the Durg vicinity. Through clinical examination, 52 dogs were identified with otitis externa, and among them, 19 exhibited otitis externa attributed to Pseudomonas spp. These specific cases were selected for an in-depth analysis of their antibiogram profiles. The results of the antibiogram assay revealed that imipenem exhibited the highest sensitivity (100%), followed by piperacillin-tazobactam (84.2%), while amikacin and ceftriaxone displayed the lowest sensitivity (5.2%).
