Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern of Bacterial Isolates from Patients with Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media

Antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of bacterial isolates from chronic suppurative otitis media patients in Central India

Introduction: Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM) takes a lot of time in the hospital outdoors and operation theatres. It is a chronic disease which is associated with irreversible sequelae and serious intracranial and extracranial complications. Henceforth early & effective treatment needs to be instituted to avoid such complications. Materials & Methods: This study was planned at a tertia...

Isolation and Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Bacteria from Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media Patients in Kerman, Iran

BACKGROUND Chronic supportive otitis media (CSOM) is one of the commonest illnesses in ENT practice. This study was conducted to find out the various aerobic microorganisms associated with CSOM and their current antimicrobial susceptibility patterns to commonly used antimicrobials. METHODS samples were collected from 117 clinically diagnosed cases of CSOM and processed according to standard p...

A Study of Bacterial Profile and Antibiotic Susceptibility Pattern of Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM)

CSOM is mostly caused by bacteria, but fungi and virus can also be a cause of CSOM. The aerobic microorganisms most frequently isolated in CSOM are Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Gram-negative organisms such as Proteus spp., Klebsiella spp., and Escherichia spp., Citrobacter species, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis (Gül et al., 2006; Verhoeff et al., 2006; de M...

Allergic Rhinitis in Adults with Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media

Introduction: Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is considered one of the most common causes of acquired hearing impairment in developing countries. CSOM is a multifactorial persistent inflammatory disease of the middle ear. A distinct pathophysiologic mechanism linking allergic rhinitis (AR) and CSOM remains to evolve. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between A...
