Background: In Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM), the spread of micro organisms to adjacent structures can result in a broad range of intracranial and extracranial complications. Objectives: To study the microbiological profile of Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media Materials and Methods : Ear swabs were collected and cultured from 200 patients with purulent discharge from perforated tympanic membranes attending the ENT clinic. The organisms isolated were identified by standard microbiological methods and antibiogram pattern was determined. Results: The most common organism isolated was Pseudomonas aeruginosa [83 (41.5%)] followed by Staphylococcus aureus [60 (30%)]. Most of the isolates (90%) in our study were sensitive to Amikacin Conclusion: The knowledge of the local pattern of infection is essential for starting empirical therapy and reducing the potential risks of complications.Downloads
