Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the aerobic bacteria involved and their antibiotic sensitivity pattern in patients with Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM), as well as to give a guideline for empirical antibiotic therapy. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella species, and Proteus species are the types of bacteria that are most commonly identified in patients with chronic suppurative otitis media. It is absolutely necessary to have an understanding of the local pattern of infection in order to be able to treat this condition effectively. In order to give a guideline for empirical antibiotic therapy, the purpose of this study is to identify the local pattern of aerobic bacteria that are engaged in instances of chronic suppurative otitis media and the antimicrobial sensitivity pattern of those microbes.
