Dealing with acute or chronic otitis can be really difficult. Especially when it becomes resistant to therapies. Knowing which topical ear flushes should be used in gram-negative infections can maximize success of your difficult otitis cases.
Gram negative infections (such as Pseudomonas sp.) are notorious for creating biofilms which can make treatment even more challenging. TrizEDTA is an ingredient in several different veterinary ear flushes which can help. TrizEDTA has antibioitic-potentiating effects by creating holes within the bacteria. Additionally, it has anti-biofilm properties. This episode goes over the benefits of TrizEDTA in gram-negative infections.
