The physiologic deep nasal flora of cats and dogs in Hungary

Abstract

This study investigates the bacterial composition of the nasal and middle ear microbiota in dogs and cats, focusing on animals with middle ear diseases but no respiratory conditions. A total of 10 samples were collected from both species, representing various breeds, ages, and sexes. Bacterial cultures were performed to identify the predominant microbial species associated with ceruminous otitis externa, purulent otitis externa, and ear polyps.
