“…In addition, supplements containing EOs were shown to have a positive effect on atopic dermatitis [21,22], chronic dermatitis [23], pyoderma [24], nasal hyperkeratosis [25], and malodour in dogs [26]. EOs can also be used as ingredients in mouth rinses for their antimicrobial properties [27,28] or in the treatment of abscesses [29].…”

Antifungal in vitro Activity of Essential Oils against Clinical Isolates of Malassezia pachydermatis from Canine Ears: A Report from a Practice Laboratory

Background: The yeast Malassezia pachydermatis is a commensal but also the most isolated pathogenic yeast in canine otitis externa. Essential oils (EOs) exhibit antimicrobial activity and thus could be an alternative for treatment of otitis. Objective: The aim of this study was to analyse the in vitro efficacy of EOs against M. pachydermatis isolates from canine ears. Materials and Methods: Twenty-two EOs were tested for their in vitro activity against 15 M. pachydermatis isolates by agar disc diffusion. In addition, diluted EOs were tested and volatile antifungal activity was analysed by vapour assay. Results: Most EOs showed in vitro efficacy against M. pachydermatis. A different susceptibility pattern of tested isolates was found. Overall, the most potential EO was lemon grass. Also, cinnamon leaf, clove, manuka, Indian melissa, oregano, palmarosa, and winter savory oil exhibited a strong antifungal activity. Volatile activity was proven by the inhibiting effect in vapour assay. Conclusion: EOs show in vitro activity against M. pachydermatis. This study gives scientific background for the use of EOs in veterinary medicine. Diverse susceptibility patterns of different M. pachydermatis strains emphasise the helpfulness of an aromatogram as one lead for the best choice of an EO for therapy. Antimykotische In-vitro-Wirksamkeit ätherischerÖle gegen Malassezia pachydermatis isoliert aus Hundeohren: Ein Bericht aus dem Routinelabor Schlüsselwörter Ätherische Öle · Malassezia pachydermatis · Otitis externa · Veterinärmedizin Zusammenfassung Einleitung: Der Hefepilz Malassezia pachydermatis gilt als Kommensale, ist aber gleichzeitig auch der am häufigsten isolierte Hefepilz bei caniner Otitis externa. Ätherische Öle könnten aufgrund ihrer antimikrobiellen Eigenschaften als alternative Therapie der Otitis verwendet werden. Zielsetzung: Ziel dieser Studie war die Untersuchung der antifungalen In-vitro-Wirksamkeit ätherischer Öle gegen M. pachydermatis-Isolate aus Hundeohren. Material und Methoden: Die In-vitro-Aktivität von 22 ätherischen Ölen wurde mittels Agar-Plättchen-Diffusionstest gegen 15 M. pachydermatis-Isolate untersucht. Zusätzlich wurden Verdünnungen der ätherischen Öle getestet und die volatile Wirkung mittels "vapour assay" analysiert. Ergebnisse: Die meisten ätherischen Öle zeigten in vitro eine Wirksamkeit gegen M. pachydermatis. Es konnte eine unterschiedliche Empfindlichkeit einzelner M. pachydermatis-Isolate gefunden werden. Lemongrasöl erwies sich als das po-tenteste ätherische Öl. Ebenfalls zeigten Zimtblätter-, Nelken-, Manuka-, indisches Melissen-, Oregano-, Palmarosa-und Bergbohnenkrautöl eine starke antifungale Wirksamkeit. Die volatile Wirkung konnte mittels "vapour assay" gezeigt werden. Schlussfolgerung: In vitro zeigen ätherische Öle eine Wirksamkeit gegen den Hefepilz M. pachydermatis. Diese Studie bietet eine wissenschaftliche Basis zur Anwendung ätherischer Öle in der Veterinärmedizin. Die unterschiedliche Empfindlichkeit der verschiedenen M. pachydermatis-Isolate gegenüber einzelner äther...

“…Tea tree oil delivered into the cavities of prostatic abscesses in dogs in place of aspirated purulent matter resulted in the disappearance of the purulent matter in the cavities and a marked reduction in the volume of the cavities. 178 The ability of using these antimicrobials for site-specific applications, such as in release-based or non-leaching surfaces remains largely undiscovered. A range of polymer coatings based on ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, very high molecular weight polyethylene and latex compounds and incorporating a wide range of biocidal phytochemical agents, alone and in combinations, have been proposed, with primary area of application being marine paints and coatings.…”

Anti-bacterial surfaces: natural agents, mechanisms of action, and plasma surface modification

REVIEW This journal isStrategies that confine antibacterial and/or antifouling property to the surface of the implant, by modifying the surface chemistry and morphology or by encapsulating the material in an antibiotic-loaded coating, are most promising as they do not alter bulk integrity of the material. Among them, plasma-assisted modification and catechol chemistry stand out for their ability to modify a wide range of substrates. By controlling processing parameters, plasma environment can be used for surface nano structuring, chemical activation, and deposition of biologically active and passive coatings. Catechol chemistry can be used for material-independent, highlycontrolled surface immobilisation of active molecules and fabrication of biodegradable drugloaded hydrogel coatings. In this article, we comprehensively review the role plasma-assisted processing and catechol chemistry can play in combating bacterial colonisation on medically relevant coatings, and how these strategies can be coupled with the use of natural antimicrobial agents to produce synthetic antibiotic-free antibacterial surfaces.

Background: The prostatic syndrome in male dogs shows a varying range of clinical implications. Prostatic syndrome in dogs is characterized by non-pathognomonic clinical symptoms affecting urinary, digestive, and locomotory functions. The nature of prostatic disease in dogs cannot be diagnosed without further clinical examination. Radiological examination, ultrasound examination and analysis of the prostatic fluid makes it possible to ascertain a reliable and accurate diagnosis. Objectives: This review presents information on the canine prostatic pathology and the application of different methods for its treatment. Results: The prostatic syndrome in male dogs is associated with varied medical conditions. Some conditions, benign forms like prostate hyperplasia (BPH), are quite common. More serious ailments, such as cysts, abscesses, and neoplasms are rare in occurrence. Prostatic syndrome in dogs are marked by clinical symptoms resulting in dysfunction of the urinary, digestive, and the locomotory system. A reliable mode of diagnosis for prostatic conditions in dogs is mediated by undertaking radiological examination, ultrasound examination and analysis of the prostatic fluid. Conclusion: Prostatic disorders in dogs present a uniformity of medical symptoms affecting the urinary, digestive, locomotory functions, with a heterogeneity of lesions in the form of hyperplasia, prostatitis and tumor formation which demands rigorous differential diagnosis for the establishment of effective medical or surgical treatment.
