This study found Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are the most common aerobic bacteria in chronic otitis media. Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed high susceptibility to several antibiotics, including imipenem and piperacillin-tazobactam.

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Otolaryngology

Context:

  • Bacterial infections frequently cause exacerbations and treatment failures in chronic otitis media.
  • Understanding the microbial landscape is crucial for effective management.

Purpose:

  • To determine the incidence and profile of aerobic bacterial flora in chronic otitis media.
  • To assess the antibiotic susceptibility of isolated bacteria.

Summary:

  • Analyzed 274 middle ear discharge samples from 228 chronic otitis media patients.
  • Identified Staphylococcus aureus (42.9%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (19.8%) as the most prevalent bacterial pathogens.
  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa demonstrated high in vitro susceptibility to imipenem, piperacillin-tazobactam, ceftazidime, and amikacin.

Impact:

  • Highlights key pathogens in chronic otitis media, guiding treatment strategies.
  • Provides essential antibiotic susceptibility data for optimizing antimicrobial therapy.
  • Informs clinical decision-making for managing chronic otitis media infections.
