A statistical analysis of the micro-organisms from chronic otitis media and their antibiotic sensitivity

Bacterial analysis of the otorrhea from chronic otitis media including antibiotic sensitivity was carried out on 214 cases from 1984 to 1987 by use of the Abbott Avantage System. The results are summarized as follows: 1) P. aeruginosa (25%) and S. aureus (18%) were the primary isolates throughout th...

Summary:Bacterial analysis of the otorrhea from chronic otitis media including antibiotic sensitivity was carried out on 214 cases from 1984 to 1987 by use of the Abbott Avantage System. The results are summarized as follows: 1) P. aeruginosa (25%) and S. aureus (18%) were the primary isolates throughout the 4 years. 2) During the 4 years, Genus proteus has gradually decreased. On the other hand, Corynebacterium and S. epidermis increased. 3) P. aeruginosa and Corynebacterium showed high frequency as mixed infections. 4) The sensitivity to various antibiotics of P. aeruginosa and S. aureus were generally low, which reflects their high tolerance. It was proved that OFLX was susceptible.
