Abstract:
Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a persistent,
insidious and potentially dangerous disease because of
its various fatal complications. It is still a significant health
problem in developing countries. It is the common cause of
conductive deafness.
Change in the bacteriological scenario with indiscriminate
use of antimicrobial agents has been associated with the
emergence of multiple drug resistant strains. Information
regarding the common pathogens and their antibiotic
sensitivities is essential for the proper choice of antibiotics.
Hence the present study is undertaken to know the aerobic
bacteriological flora of CSOM and their antibiogram.
One hundred and nine clinically diagnosed cases of CSOM
of all age groups and both the sexes attending ENTOPD and
admitted in ENT wards were studied. Ear swab was taken from
each patient, further subjected to Gram staining and culture
onto blood agar, MacConkey’s agar and Chocolate agar.
The bacterial isolates were identified by standard biochemical
reactions. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was done by Kirby-
Bauer disc diffusion method.
A random selection of 109 CSOM cases were studied,
of which 71 were males and 38 were females. Majority
of the patients were in the age group of 11 to 20 years.
Predominance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (53.91%) followed
by Staphylococcus aureus (28.69%), Proteus mirabilis (6.09%),
Klebsiellapneumoniae (5.23%), Citrobacterfreundii (4.35%) and
E.coli (1.73%). ntibiotics like Imipenem, Piperacillin-tazobactum,
Amikacin, ciprofloxacin and Levofloxacin were found to be more
effective against all Gram positive and Gram-negative isolates.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the predominant organism
followed by Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella
pneumoniae, Citrobacterfreundii and E coli. The most effective
drugs were Imipenem, Piperacillin-tazobactum, Amikacin,
ciprofloxacin and Levofloxacin.
