STUDY OF AEROBIC AND ANAEROBIC BACTERIA IN CHRONIC SUPPURATIVE OTITIS MEDIA
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 17
Abstract
One hundred six patients with clinical diagnosis of CSOM were investigated bacteriologically using appropriate aerobic and anaerobic techniques. Positive cultures were obtained in 100 specimens. Aerobic bacteria alone were present in 51%, anaerobic bacteria alone in 10% and a combination of both in 34% of aural swabs. The anaerobes isolated were Bacteroides 30%, Peptostreptococci 26%, followed by others. Aerobic bacteriology showed the predominance of Pseudomonas 30.4% followed by Staphylococcus aureus 21.4%. Metronidazole was found to be most effective (87%) drug against anaerobes and Amikacin (98%) against aerobes.
