Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Otitis externa is commonly caused by bacteria and yeasts.
  • Increasing antimicrobial resistance necessitates careful treatment selection.
  • Antimicrobial sensitivity testing is vital to prevent resistance development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze antimicrobial sensitivity patterns of bacteria and yeasts causing otitis externa.
  • To guide effective treatment strategies for otitis externa.
  • To address the growing challenge of antimicrobial resistance in otitis externa pathogens.

Main Methods:

  • Isolation and identification of etiological agents from otitis externa cases.
  • Antifungal activity testing using the automated ATB Fungus system.

  • Antibacterial activity testing employing the classic diffusion test.

    • Main Results:

    • Azole compounds demonstrated significant antifungal properties against yeasts.
    • Beta-lactam antibiotics exhibited the strongest antibacterial activity against bacteria.
    • Sensitivity patterns varied, highlighting the need for individualized testing.

    Conclusions:

    • Antimicrobial sensitivity testing is essential for effective otitis externa management.
    • Azoles and beta-lactams are recommended for empiric treatment of yeast and bacterial otitis externa, respectively.
    • This study underscores the importance of sensitivity testing in combating antimicrobial resistance in otitis externa.
