Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Objective: Our study was to evaluate microbial profile of the patients with Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM). Methodology: A detail assessment and clinical examination were taken to all 100 subjects. Single use Mini-tip Culture swabs were used to harvest the middle ear microflora through the tympanic membrane perforation. Much care was taken to avoid surface contamination and the swabs were transported to the microbiology department of the hospital for culture and sensitivity testing. Results: Data was analyzed by using simple statistical methods with the help of MS-Office software. Conclusions: Active CSOM is more affected in younger age group. And most causative organisms of active CSOM are Methicillin sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA)
