Abstract :

This study compared the effectiveness of filters of acidophilus, cephalexin, and garlic essential oil on dominant bacteria causing otitis dogs in Urmia. Garlic oil was obtained in pure form. Different dilutions of antibiotic cephalexin were prepared after preparing. The acidophilus filter preparation was carried out. Analyzing the antimicrobial properties and stability of acidophilus filter is done through determining MIC, MBC and hard Disc. The results showed that 50 cases of samples were male and 52 samples were female of 102 middle ear infection samples. In 90 cases (88.24%) the infection was due to bacterial otitis of which Staphylococcus aureus (22.5%), Streptococcus pneumoniae (18.6%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (14.7%) had maximum middle ear- infection leading bacteria, respectively, and 12 (11.76%) had infectious causes. Acidophilus filter and garlic oil could inhibit otitis predominant bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae) in dog in the city of Urmia almost as common antibiotics and inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus significantly more than Streptococcus pneumoniae (P <0.05). The mean minimum inhibitory concentrations and bactericidal concentration of Staphylococcus aureus growth affected by acidophilus filter, garlic oil and cephalexin antibiotic and also the complexes of garlic essential oil + acidophilus filter, and acidophilus filter + cephalexin were significantly lower than that of Streptococcus pneumonia and the minimum inhibitory concentration and bactericidal concentration of the growth of garlic oil + cephalexin was the same on both of bacteria.
