Bacterial infections are a major cause of otitis externa in dogs, with Staphylococcus species frequently implicated. This study analyzed samples from 24 dogs with otitis externa to identify the Staphylococcus species involved. The isolates included Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, Staphylococcus schleiferi, Staphylococcus simulans, and Staphylococcus haemolyticus. While S. pseudintermedius and S. schleiferi are well-recognized pathogens in canine otitis externa, S. simulans and S. haemolyticus are rarely reported. Given their zoonotic potential, these findings emphasize the importance of further investigations to clarify the microbiology of otitis externa and to identify the pathogens of greatest clinical relevance.
细菌感染是犬外耳炎的主要病因，葡萄球菌属常与之相关。本研究分析了24只患有外耳炎的犬的样本，以确定其中涉及的葡萄球菌种类。分离出的菌株包括中间型葡萄球菌、施氏葡萄球菌、模仿葡萄球菌和溶血葡萄球菌。虽然中间型葡萄球菌和施氏葡萄球菌是犬外耳炎中公认的病原体，但模仿葡萄球菌和溶血葡萄球菌很少被报道。鉴于它们的人畜共患病潜力，这些发现强调了进一步调查以阐明外耳炎微生物学并确定具有最大临床相关性的病原体的重要性。
