Abstract EN

This study included 113 ear swabs from patients (males and female ) with Otomycosis , visited the otolaryngology consultation room at Al-Sader Medical City in Al-Najaf / Iraq in addition to the private otolaryngology clinics of some of ear,nose and throat specialists , during the period from October 2012 to March 2013 .

aims to isolate and diagnose the causative opportunistic mycotic infection of the ear and to identify the enzymatic activity of phospholipase phenotypically as an important virulence factor of fungi .

One hundred and three positive swabs were obtained including "Cephalosporium ,Candida spp, Aspergillus spp, Neurospora (Monilia ) and Trichosporium beigelii .

A.flavus and A.niger showed phospholipase activity in two degrees (++ ,+++) , but A.terreus shoed only (++) .
