“…The results from this study seem to support the statement made independently by Sule Odu (1991) and Akerele and Ahonkhai (2000) that S. aureus is the most frequent organism isolated from cultures. It also agrees with the results of a similar work previously carried out by Ahmed and Kudi (2003), where as high as 37.8% incidence of S. aureus among other organisms was recorded in cases of otitis media in Gombe.…”

“…Also Olowu and Oyetunyi (2003) showed S. aureus as being 60% sensitive to gentamycin and resistant to naladixic acid co-trimoxazole. Ahmed and kudi (2003) in one of their works on chronic suppurative otitis media in Gombe documented S. aureus as 89 and 61% sensitive to gentamycin and cephaloxin, respectively, and resistance to co-trimoxazole and penicillin. Shittu and Mandara (1999) in slight contrast to this study, reported S. aureus as 100% sensitive to genta-mycin and cephalosporin, and resistant to augmentin and nitrofurantoin.…”

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most widely spread human pathogen. Considering the havoc it causes on life and subsequently on the economy, it became necessary to determine its incidence and antibiogram in our environment for adequate control and treatment. Records of microbial cultures and antibiotic sensitivity test results of suspected cases of urinary tract infection (UTI) of the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) Benin City from January 1 st to 31 st December, 2005 were retrieved and statistically analyzed. Two thousand, one hundred and twelve (2,112) early morning mid-stream, urine samples were cultured and seven different microbial agents were isolated and identified. Staphylococuus aureus was found to be the most common organism isolated presenting 22.8%, closely followed by Klebsiella spp. (10.1%), Escherichia coli (8.2%), Proteus mirabilis (4.8%), Enteronacter spp. (4.4%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (2.0%) and Candida albican (1.0%). No growth was recorded in 46.6% of cultures. The occurrence of S. aureus was found to be significantly higher (65.8%) in females compared to males (34.2%) (P>0.05). 35% of cases were observed between the ages of 21 to 30 years and the majority were female (46.7%). The S. aureus strains were sensitive to augmentin (83%), oxfloxacin (75.9%), nitrofurantion (63.5%) and gentamycine (50.2%). S. aureus was found to be highly resistant to tetracycline (80.9%), naladixic acid (79.3%) and contrimoxazole (87.3%). It was observed that S. aureus, among other organisms isolated, is the leading cause of UTI in our environment. Augmentin and oxfloxacin could be the drug of choice in the treatment of S. aureus.

“…A total of 55 (22.9%) patients of the total OM cases were found in this age group. Previous study done by Ahmad and Kudi, 15 Shrestha et al, 3 Jha et al 16 and dissertation conducted by Koppad 10 also found similar result. It was in contrast to the study done by Raakhee et al, where the prevalence was in age group of 16-25 years.…”

“…27 Possible explanation to this difference in isolation rate might be 8 In the study done by Ahmad and Kudi, 89% S.aureus were sensitive to gentamycin, 65% to erythromycin and 61% to chloramphenical. 15 All of the bacterial isolates were resistant to Penicillin. The study conducted by Ayson et al also found that Penicillin was the least effective drug.…”

Background: Otitis Media is a prevailing and notorious infection in developing countries causing serious local damage and threating complication. Mainly in developing countries like Nepal, Otitis Media results because of illiteracy, poverty and poor hygiene. The aim of this study was to determine the profile of Otitis Media, its causative agents and their antibiotic susceptibility pattern. Methods:The study included 263 pus samples from 240 patients attending ENT department of Bharatpur hospital from May 2015 to January 2016. Samples were processed in microbiology department for bacteria using standard operating protocol. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed for all bacterial isolates by Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method and the results were interpreted according to clinical and laboratory standard institute (CLSI) guideline. Results:Out of 240 patients, 121 were female and 119 were male. Highest incidence of Otitis Media was observed in 1-10 year age group. Out of 263 samples taken from 240 patients, 216 showed bacterial growth. Gram negative bacteria predominated and the most common bacteria isolated were Staphylococcus aureus 36.11% followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa 33.33% and Coagulase Negative Staphylococci 8.08%. All bacterial isolates were sensitive to gentamycin. Staphylococcus aureus was sensitive to Amikacin and gentamycin. All gram negative bacterial isolates were sensitive to Imipenem and gentamycin. 100% of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was sensitive to Imipenem. Conclusions:Staphylococcus aureus was the most predominant organism isolated from the pus swab followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and all the isolated organisms were sensitive to Gentamycin.

“…This is in contrast to other studies that found a male predominance. [19][20][21][22][23] While a national study on hearing in the United Kingdom found no gender difference. 24 Many investigators have revealed the role of upper respiratory tract abnormalities as causative factors for ET obstruction in the etiopathogenesis of COM.…”

Background: Nasal and/or sinus disease may well contribute to the development of middle ear disease. In this study, the nasal endoscopic findings in patients with chronic otitis media (COM) compared with a group of people who do not have any otologic relevant disease to evaluate the association of anatomical variations with COM.Methods: A descriptive comparative study was done. A detailed history, clinical examination and diagnostic nasal endoscopy (DNE) had been done. DNE analysis include eustachian tube blockage, adenoid hypertrophy and inferior turbinate hypertrophy. The results were statistically analysed. Results: Total 108 cases (45 males and 63 females of age 31.17±14.50 years) and in the control group (48 males and 60 females of average age was 36.06±14.32 years) were included in the study. Most of the COM patients (66.7%) had multiple abnormalities of sinonasal regions compared to controls. Findings of DNE like eustachian tube blockage (p value=0.003), adenoid hypertrophy (p value=0.028) and inferior turbinate hypertrophy (p value=0.035) were significantly associated with chronic otitis media.Conclusions: Nasopharyngeal pathology causing eustachian tube dysfunction, has higher prevalence among chronic otitis media patients. So early recognition by diagnostic nasal endoscopy is warranted especially when surgery is considered for the comprehensive management of this overwhelming and enigmatic disease.
