<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is one of the common infective conditions which can cause many complications if not treated properly. Improper use of antibiotic among the common population has led to many drug resistant organisms; therefore it is necessary to study the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern before treating the patient with CSOM. Aim of the study was to identify the bacterial isolates causing CSOM in tubo tympanic disease and to study their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> The study was carried out in ENT department in Vinayaka Mission Medical College, Karaikal from July 2018 till December 2018 for six months. 60 patients of CSOM (TTD) with ear discharge attending the ENT Out Patient Department were included in the study. Swabs were collected for culture and sensitivity. Bacterial isolates were identified using standard methods and antibiotic susceptibility testing were done.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Pseudomonas species was the most predominant organism, which was seen in 19 patients (38%) followed by <em>Escherichia coli</em> (22%), <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> (18%), <em>Klebsiella species</em> (10%).</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> A continuous and periodic evaluation of microbiological pattern and their antibiotic sensitivity pattern prevalent in local area, helps in prescribe proper antibiotics for successful treatment of CSOM and thus minimizing its complications and emergence of resistant strains.</p><p class="abstract"> </p>

AbstractObjective:To assess the frequency of bacterial agents in chronic suppurative otitis media and the antibiotic susceptibility patterns of isolates among patients.Methods:A total of 185 patients clinically diagnosed with chronic suppurative otitis media were interviewed and middle-ear effusion samples were collected using sterile swabs. All bacterial isolates were identified by conventional microbiological methods. Antibiotic susceptibility patterns of the isolates were determined by Kirby–Bauer disc diffusion.Results:Staphylococci spp. (64.9 per cent) were the most prevalent bacteria isolated, followed by Klebsiella spp. (12.9 per cent) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (10.3 per cent). The most effective antibiotic for treatment of bacterial chronic suppurative otitis media was ciprofloxacin. Statistical analysis showed no significant difference in bacterial infestations among chronic suppurative otitis media patients and the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of the bacterial isolates based on gender and age (p > 0.05).Conclusion:Our findings highlight the importance of a continuous and periodic evaluation of the bacteriological profile and antibiotic susceptibility patterns in chronic suppurative otitis media patients for efficacious treatment of the infection.
