Abstract
Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM) is the most common illness in ENT practice. It affects all age groups and most commonly presents as ear ache and chronic ear discharge. It may even cause hearing impairment and may lead to complications so must be treated with caution. The study was undertaken to know the aerobic microbiological/bacteriological profile of ear discharge and variations in sensitivity pattern to treat the patients efficiently. A total of 86 patients who had discharging ear infection were included in this study. The most common microorganisms isolated were Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus followed by Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci (CONS), Klebsiella spp, Proteus spp and Escherichia coli. Among the commonly used topical antibiotics, Ciprofloxacin appear to be first line antibiotic to treat CSOM
