“…The present study was undertaken on 135 clinically diagnosed CSOM patients. Out of 135 cases, the majority of the CSOM patients 46 (37.70%) were in 11-20 years of age group which is in concordance with the findings of various other studies 7,8 while Gulati et al, Baruah who reported a higher percentage of females being affected in their study. 2,13,14 The cause of predominance of male patients over female is unknown.…”

“…COPS showed 100% sensitivity to Vancomycin, Linezolid, and Doxcycline in our study, which is a heartening situation but calls for their judicious use so that resistance to them can be prevented and regular monitoring for emergent resistance. In case of Escherichia coli, Proteus species, and Citrobacter species, Amikacin was found to be the most effective drug to which the sensitivity was 100% while Arya C et al, 22 reported 100% sensitivity to Ceftazidime and Yang et al, 11 Sharma et al, 8 and Rao and Reddy 16 to Ciprofloxacin. When the results of various studies were compared, it became obvious that the bacteriology and antibiotic sensitivity pattern of CSOM has been changing from region to region and over time period too.…”

“…Its ability to produce bacteriocins, presence of pili and enzymes like proteases gives it added advantage of survival over the other bacteria in middle ear infections. 8 However, certain authors have reported Staphylococcus species as the most common isolate. 2,13,22 This signifies the need for studying the microbiological profile for each geographical area.…”

Background: Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a persistent middle ear disease with high risk of irreversible complications in absence of timely management. It is a massive health problem in India having the highest prevalence rate (>4%) requiring urgent attention. Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to find out risk factors, microbiological profile, with their susceptibility pattern, and of ear discharge in CSOM patients to provide guidelines for the empirical treatment. Materials and Methods: Ear discharge samples from 135 clinically diagnosed CSOM patients were collected and processed. Microbial isolates were identified and drug susceptibility testing was conducted using Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Results: Pseudomonas species (59/135, 43.70%) was the predominant isolate followed by Staphylococcus species (37/135, 27.40%) while Aspergillus species (10/12, 83.33%) was the predominant fungus isolated. No anaerobic bacteria were isolated on culture. Gram-negative bacilli were most susceptible to Meropenem (100%) and Amikacin (100%) while Pseudomonas species was to Imipenem (98.35%). Gram-positive cocci showed 100% susceptibility to Vancomycin, Linezolid, and Doxycycline. Conclusion: A continuous and periodic evaluation of microbiological pattern of CSOM and antimicrobial sensitivity of isolates is necessary for forming the basis of empirical treatment which shall aid in decreasing the potential risk of complications. Further, accurate and timely identification, knowledge of the pathogens, and judicious use of antibiotics are the need of the hour.

BACKGROUNDAntibiotic resistance pattern of CSOM has been changing according to geographical variation and differences in patient population. Increased and irrational use of broad spectrum antibiotics, as well as resistance in bacterial isolates, has become very common. Staphylococcus is one of the most important bacteria in CSOM and MRSA is a common pathogen in otologic diseases. Continuous and periodic surveillance of MRSA is necessary to reduce the spread of antibiotic resistant pathogens in CSOM cases.
