Abstract

The purpose of the study was to offer a guideline for the treatment of chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) with empirical antibiotics as well as to evaluate the aerobic bacteria that were implicated as well as their antibiotic sensitivity pattern in patients who had been diagnosed with the condition chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM). According to our research, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus species, Klebsiella species and E. coli are the most frequently occurring pathogens that cause CSOM. In order to establish a guideline for empirical antibiotic therapy, it is essential necessary to have an understanding of the local pattern of infection. This information is vitally necessary. The purpose of this research is to determine the antimicrobial sensitivity pattern of the microbes that are responsible for chronic suppurative otitis media as well as the local pattern of aerobic bacteria that are causing the condition. The treating physicians will be able to use this information to identify which antibiotics have the best chance of being effective against the particular microorganisms in question.
