PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA IN CHRONIC SUPPURATIVE OTITIS MEDIA: FREQUENCY AND ITS SENSITIVITY TO VARIOUS ANTIBIOTICS
Journal Title: International Journal of Microbiology Research - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 9
Abstract
Aim: Chronic suppurative otitis media is a significant health problem especially in underdeveloped countries. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is very common causes of inflammation with distinct tendency for multi-resistance development, which can cause significant and even life-threatening complications. This study aims to determine the microbial profile and sensitivity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates to antibiotics, which would greatly help in the treatment of disease, preventing the development of complications and the development of pathogens resistant to certain antibiotics. Methodology: The standard microbiological procedures were followed for isolation, culture and antimicrobial assay. Results: Pseudomonas aeruginosa was present in 27.18% and isolates showed full susceptibility to Imipenem and Ceftizidim (100%), meaningly susceptibility to Ciprofloxacillin (92.68%), and slightly less to Cefoperazone (78.95%) and Piperacillin (76.92%). There was also relatively considerable resistance to aminoglycosides Gentamycin (50%) and Amikacin (53.85%), and complete resistance to Ampicillin, Amoxicillin-clavulanate, Cephalexin and Cefuroxime. Conclusion: Given the high affinity multi-resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa it is necessary to continuously and periodically evaluate the aetiological agents of chronic suppurative otitis media and their susceptibility to antibiotics.
