Abstract :

The aim of this research was to know the sensitivities of Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci isolated from otitis externa of dogs to antibiotics.  Two of fourty isolates have characteristics like coccus shaped, Gram positive, non motile, didn’t have a capsule, and didn’t have enzyme coagulase. Antibiotics had been used for sensitivity test were ciprofloxacin, ampicillin, chloramphenicol, amoxicillin, gentamycin,and rifampycin by in vitro using Kirby-Bauer method. Disc of these antibiotics were put on the surface of MHA media with growth of Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci on it. Diameter of inhibitor area surrounding around the discs were measured on mm to identify either the isolates resistant or not. Test result of a sensitivity to six antibiotics that ciprofloxacin, gentamycin, chloramphenicol and rifampycin has sensitivity of 100 %, meanwhile  antibiotics ampicillin and amoxicillin has a sensitivity value only 50%. This research provides information that ciprofloxacin, gentamycin, chloramphenicol and rifampycin could be used as an effective antibiotics for cases of otitis externa caused by Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci. This research should be extended to obtain more samples so the results are more accurate.
