Abstract
The problem of otitis in small pets is widespread and requires improvement of therapeutic approaches
based on modern scientific data and research achievements. This article presents an
overview of current sources of primary scientific information on the field of microbiology in inflammatory
diseases of the ear in small domestic animals – dogs and cats. Information about microbiom
(involved in the pathogenesis of otitis), ability of microorganisms to biofilm formation and resistance
to antimicrobial drugs is presented. The associativity of the bacterial component, its colonization
ability and these characteristics actualize the problem of improving antibacterial treatment,
prevention tactics and scientific research in this matter.
