Antibiogram test
No significant correlation between neither different age groups nor
different sexes of the horses and sensitivity of the eyes’ bacterial
flora to Colistin, ceftiofur, florfenicol, amoxicillin, and ampicillin
was indicated using Chi-squared and Fisher exact statistical tests
(P>0.05) (Tables 3,4). However, unlike
trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, significant differences in sensitivity to
enrofloxacin, as well as ciprofloxacin between age groups of 1-5 and
5-10 along with 1-5 and older than 10, were indicated (p<0.05)
(Table 5). Among all utilized antibiotics, only differences in
sensitivity to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole were significantly
correlated with the sex of horses in which neutered horses and intact
mares were significantly different (p<0.05) while the
difference between mare and stallion was insignificant (Table 6). As
shown in Tables 5 and 6 since all isolated bacteria were sensitive to
gentamicin and neomycin, statistical analysis was not possible.
