Anaerobic bacteria in otitis media

R S Fulghum, H J Daniel, J G Yarborough

    The Annals of Otology, Rhinology, and Laryngology
    |March 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Anaerobic bacteria, including Peptostreptococcus intermedius and Propionibacterium acnes, were identified in chronic secretory otitis media cases. This supports historical findings of anaerobic involvement in otitis media infections.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Otolaryngology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Chronic secretory otitis media is a common condition.
    • The role of anaerobic bacteria in otitis media has been sporadically reported since 1898.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the presence and types of anaerobic bacteria in chronic secretory otitis media.
    • To identify common aerobic bacteria found in mixed infections with anaerobes.

    Main Methods:

    • Bacterial cultures were performed on mixed infection flora specimens from patients with chronic secretory otitis media.
    • Identification of both anaerobic and aerobic bacterial species was conducted.

    Main Results:

    • Anaerobic bacteria, specifically Peptostreptococcus intermedius and Propionibacterium acnes, were detected in 4 out of 10 tested cases.
    • These anaerobes were found in mixed infections with aerobic bacteria, primarily Staphylococcus epidermidis and an unclassified Cornybacterium species.

    Conclusions:

    • Anaerobic bacteria are present in chronic secretory otitis media.
    • The findings align with historical literature suggesting anaerobic involvement in otitis media.
    • Further research into the specific role of these anaerobes in otitis media pathogenesis is warranted.
