Microbiology of Cerumen Bacterial Flora of Acute Otitis Externa Patients

Background:To compare the microbiology of Cerumen bacterial flora in acute otitis externa patients and healthy individuals. Methods: In this comparative study a total of 120 participants were included, consisting of 50 patients of acute otitis externa patients and 70 healthy participants. Healthy cases without any medical problems but with cerumen in the ear canal were enrolled ascontrol group....

OME is the most common cause of conductive hearing loss in children and has adverse effects on speech development and cognitive skills. Results: Among 1001 children under study, 57 subjects (5.7%) were dia...

Microbial Evaluation and Management of Otitis Externa in Dogs

The study was conducted to record the microbial inhabitants of the nirmal ear canal and isolate microbial infective agents in otitic ears in dogs. The microorganisms were isolated from 87.5% of normal ears, which included Staphylococcus spp. (37.5%) followed by S. pyogenes (25.0%), P. aeruginosa (12.5%) and E. coli (12.5%). The fungus Candida spp was isolated from 37.5% normal ears, which was a...
