Twenty healthy cats (group 1) with clinically normal ears, 15 cats with systemic disease (group 2) and 15 allergic cats (group 3) were included in a prospective study. The experimental unit was the ear. A clinical score was established for each ear canal after otoscopic examination. Microbial population was assessed on cytological examination of smears performed with the cotton-tipped applicator smear technique. Fungal population was significantly more prominent in allergic cats (P <0.001) and in diseased cats compared with healthy cats (P <0.02). Bacterial population was significantly higher in allergic cats than in healthy cats (P <0.001) and cats suffering from systemic disease (P <0.001). Bacterial overgrowth was also higher in cats with systemic disease than healthy cats. In cats from group 2, only fungal overgrowth was associated with otitis severity. In group 3, only bacterial overgrowth was associated with otitis severity.
20只耳部临床正常的健康猫（第1组）、15只患有全身性疾病的猫（第2组）和15只过敏猫（第3组）被纳入一项前瞻性研究。实验单位为耳朵。耳镜检查后为每个耳道建立临床评分。采用棉拭子涂片技术对涂片进行细胞学检查，评估微生物群落。与健康猫相比，真菌群落在过敏猫中（P<0.001）以及患病猫中更为显著（P<0.02）。过敏猫中的细菌群落显著高于健康猫（P<0.001）和患有全身性疾病的猫（P<0.001）。全身性疾病猫的细菌过度生长也高于健康猫。在第2组的猫中，只有真菌过度生长与中耳炎严重程度相关。在第3组中，只有细菌过度生长与中耳炎严重程度相关。
