Background: Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is the most common infection of the middle ear characterized by persistent or recurrent purulent discharge from the middle ear through a perforated tympanic membrane. Although it is a global disease, its incidence has remained relatively higher in developing countries and in poor socio economic group of populations Aims and Objectives: To study Bacteriological profile of chronic suppurative otitis media. Methodology: After approval from institutional ethical committee a cross-sectional study was carried out in the patients of Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media at the department of the Otolaryngology of a tertiary health care center during the one-year period i.e. June 2016 to June 2017. Result: In our study we have seen that the majority of the patients were in the age group of 10-20 were -31.94% followed by ;>60-27.78%, 50-60-12.50%, 40-50-11.11%, 20-30-9.72%.The majority of the patients were Female i.e. 61.11% and Males were 38.89%.The majority of the patients were having Bilateral disease i.e. 76.39% and 23.61% were unilateral. The most common organism isolated was Pseudomonas aeruginosa -41.72%, followed by Staph Aureus in 13.72%, Klebsiellaaerogens in12.12%, E.Coli in 9.12%, Proteus Mirabillis-7.51%, Peptostreptococcus Spp. In 3.78%, Propionibacterium-2.12%, No growth in 21%. Conclusion: It can be concluded from our study that the most common age was young and old age, most common in females and bilateral. The most common organism were Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staph Aureus, Klebsiellaaerogens respectively
