Aerobic cultures were performed at the time of surgery and time of incisional dehiscence.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n The most common organisms cultured from TECA samples included\n Staphylococcus<\/jats:italic>\n spp. (5\/12, 41.7%),\n Enterococcus<\/jats:italic>\n spp. (3\/12, 25%),\n Streptococcus<\/jats:italic>\n spp. (3\/12, 25%),\n Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic>\n (2\/12, 16.7%), and\n Corynebacterium<\/jats:italic>\n spp. (2\/12, 16.7%). The organisms most commonly isolated from incisional dehiscences were\n Staphylococcus<\/jats:italic>\n spp. (10\/12, 83.3%) and\n Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic>\n (5\/12, 41.7%). The median time for incisional dehiscence was 11.5\u2009days postoperatively (range, 2\u201334\u2009days). The same single bacteria species,\n Staphylococcus schleiferi,<\/jats:italic>\n was identified from the TECA and incisional dehiscence cultures in only one dog (1\/12, 8.3%). In 6\/12 (50%) dogs, the same bacteria were cultured before or during TECA and at the time of incisional dehiscence, but additional organisms were also identified. Antibiotic susceptibility patterns were different in four of seven dogs where the same bacteria were cultured prior to and during incisional dehiscence.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n Cultures performed during TECA were not predictive of culture results at the time of dehiscence. Antibiotic susceptibility patterns often changed when the same organism was cultured prior to and at incisional dehiscence.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Clinical significance<\/jats:title>\n Repeating cultures is essential to treat infectious incisional dehiscence following TECA appropriately.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/vsu.14233","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,2]],"date-time":"2025-03-02T02:26:56Z","timestamp":1740882416000},"page":"507-515","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Comparison of bacteria cultured during a total ear canal ablation and subsequent incisional dehiscence in 12 dogs"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"54","author":[{"given":"Meghan R.","family":"Smith","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Studies Ryan Veterinary Hospital, University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stephen D.","family":"Cole","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Studies Ryan Veterinary Hospital, University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-2941-4100","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rachel W.","family":"Williams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine University of Florida Gainesville Florida USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cassie N.","family":"Lux","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine University of Tennessee Knoxville Tennessee USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Garrett J.","family":"Davis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Red Bank Veterinary Hospitals Tinton Falls New Jersey USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Samuel","family":"Levy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Red Bank Veterinary Hospitals Tinton Falls New Jersey USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6132-156X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"William T.
