Abstract
The authors summarize history of treatments of human infections due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa, particularly burns and otitis, by use of acet ic acid (or even vinegar). They infer a procedure for a treatment of c anine otitis caused by this germ. Severe clinical signs, recurrence an d isolation of P. aeruginosa are criteria of inclusion of the dogs in the protocol. Acetic acid is used by washing of the ear canal daily wi th a 0.5 p. 100 solution during the first week, then at 5 p. 100 the n ext 3 weeks. Preliminary results seem very promising both from the cli nical and the bacteriological point of view.
