“…Other studies report similar findings. 4,7,12 Pseudomonas aeruginosa was found to be most sensitive to Gentamicin followed by Amikacin and Ciprofloxacin among the first line drugs. Penicillins and Cephalosporins were relatively more resistant.…”

“…8,7,10,12,13 However few studies report Amoxycillin-Clavulanic acid to have better susceptibility and Ciprofloxacin to be more resistant among GNBs Isolated GNBs were not so susceptible to Imipenem, which is commonly used as a empirical parenteral therapy for complicated CSOM cases. 12,13 Few studies report similar unsatisfactory results for carbapenems. 14,15 However some studies report excellent susceptibility to carbapenems.…”

Background: The average prevalence of Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) in India is 5.2%. It is more prevalent due to various predisposing factors such as malnutrition, overcrowding, poor hygiene, inadequate health care, and recurrent upper respiratory tract infection. In recent years, there is increased preponderance of multi drug resistant organisms due to the irrational use of antibiotics, making treatment of CSOM more difficult.Methods: Samples from 100 subjects of uncomplicated CSOM who presented to the Oto-Rhino-Laryngology outpatient department of our hospital were collected. Aerobic bacterial profile and its Antimicrobial susceptibility were studied by conventional methods. Results were compiled and evaluated by descriptive statistics and inferential statistics.Results: Pseudomonas aeruginosa (50.7%) and Staphylococcus aureus (19.04%) were the predominant isolates in our study. Aminoglycosides and Fluoroquinolones were found to be effective first line drugs, followed by Carbapenems.Conclusions: These antibiotics can be used to prevent the life-long complications of CSOM. Timely culture and sensitivity helps in the management of these cases.
