Microbiological Portrayal of Active Mucosal COM in Western Maharashtra (Study Conducted in B J Medical College of pune)

Dr. Thakur Rahul, Dr. Samir Joshi

Abstract :

 Active mucosal chronic otitis media (COM) is one of the most common ENT manifestations seen in all age groups. It is the inflammation of middle ear cleft. The aim of this study is to identify the bacterial isolates causing mucosal COM and to study their antibiotic susceptibility. The study was carried out in a medical college with tertiary care hospital in pune from August 2015 to January 2016 for a period of six months.92 patients presenting to ENT opd with ear discharge diagnosed as active mucosal COM were considered for study. Under otomicroscopic examination ear swab was taken and sent for microbiological analysis. The most commonly isolated bacteria was Pseudomonas aeruginosa followed by Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella Pneumoniae, Escherichia coli were isolated which were sensitive to Ciprofloxacin, Imipenem, Gentamicin and least sensitive to Ceftazidime ,Cefoperazone. In the era of developing antibiotic resistance the present study helps us in judicial use of antibiotics by microbiological analysis.
