eng	Bacteria and fungi in dogs with otitis externa	The bacterial and fungal flora of dogs suffering with otitis externa was studied in order to determine the causative agents. The bacterium Staphylococcus intermedius (60.6 %) was the most frequently isolated microorganism from otitic ears, followed by Malassezia pachydermatis (30.9 %), Streptococcus canis (25.2 %), Proteus spp. (14.9 %) and Escherichia coli (10.2 %). A statistical analysis of our results showed that the prevalence of these microorganisms is significant in dogs with otitis externa. Furthermore, the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of isolated strains were determined. Majority of all bacterial isolates were most susceptible to gentamicin. M. pachydermatis, the most prevalent yeast in this study, showed an excellent level of susceptibility to all antifungal agents tested.	otitis externa; Malassezia pachydermatis; Staphylococcus intermedius
