A STUDY OF BACTERRIA DETECTED FROM CHRONIC OTITIS MEDIA PATIENTS TREATED IN OUR HOSPITAL

The subjects studied were chronic otitis media patients treated in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Itabashi General Hospital (treatment period: 1993-1994) and in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Tokyo Medical College (treatment period: 1988-1990). We performed a detailed statistic analy...

Summary:The subjects studied were chronic otitis media patients treated in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Itabashi General Hospital (treatment period: 1993-1994) and in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Tokyo Medical College (treatment period: 1988-1990). We performed a detailed statistic analysis of the data on the detected bacteria for a comparative study. The recently treated patients were infected with S. aureus, P. aeruginosa and fungus in order of decreasing incidence. There was a slightly increasing tendency to single infection. Compared with the results obtained five years ago, the detection rate of Proteus has decreased and the detection rates of ear canal resident floras including Corynebacterium and S. epidermidis have increased. These results suggest the changes in bacterial floras. Regarding drug sensitivity, these bacteria showed high sensitivity to sulfobenzyl penicillin (SBPC), cefoperazone (CPZ) and ofloxacin (OFLX).
