Abstract:- Introduction: Ottorhoea is a common presenting complaint of patients seeking medical attention .Otitis in all it’s forms has a varied microbial etiology which influences the selection of an efficacious anti microbial agent. Hence the objective of this study was to identify the etiological agents in patients coming with complaints of otorhoea. Methods: A total of 150 cases were enrolled in the study conducted in the department of Microbiology, Padmashree Dr D Y Patil Medical College, Pimpri Pune from patients attending OPD in the department of Ottolaryngology. Sterile cotton swabs were used to collect samples from patients complaining of ear discharge. Samples were processed by standard microbiology protocols by traditional methods including microscopy, culture, biochemicals. Antibiotic Susceptibility was done by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Fungal culture was done on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar(SDA). Results and Observations: Of 150 cases studied, 121 were culture positive and remaining culture negative. A total of 161 organisms was recovered from 121 patients. Staphylococcus aureus was recovered in 68 cases, fungal culture was positive in 38 followed by Pseudomonas in 27.Ciprofloxacin and Amikacin susceptibility was highest in Gram negatives. While Gram positive organisms showed high susceptibility to Cefuroxime and Vancomycin. Conclusions: S.aureus was the most common bacteria isolated. Susceptibility to Ciprofloxacin ,Cefuroxime and Amikacin was found to be high.
Key Words :- Ottorhoea, S.aureus, antibiotic susceptibility. |
