“…OME is defined as inflammation of the middle ear space accompanied by fluid collection without signs or symptoms of acute infection such as otalgia, fever or a red, bulging tympanic membrane [2]. The mechanism of OME is still not clearly, although was determined inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins (PG), leukotrienes (LT) and platelet-activating factors (PAF) have been identified in human OME, and in the experimentally induced OME of animals [3][4][5][6][7].…”

“…Along with these poor socio-economic status and unhygienic conditions and improper sanitation habits can further predispose to recurrent ear discharge. [8] [9] Predominant bacterial etiology of CSOM in our study was Pseudomonas aeruginosa seen in 40.65% of the cases followed by Staphylococcus aureus (14.63%) and Klebsiella aerogenes(11.78%). Pseudomonas, is the predominant cause of CSOM in tropical region does not usually inhabit the upper respiratory tract, its presence in the middle-ear cannot be ascribed to an invasion through ET and it should be considered as secondary invader gaining access to the middle-ear via defect in TM.…”

BACKGROUND:Middle ear infection is one of the most common condition in ENT practice, particularly in our country. Its significance lies in its chronicity and its dreaded complications like hearing loss and cholesteatoma. Chronic suppurative Otitis media and its complications are among the most common conditions seen by both the otologist and pediatrician. Both gram positive and negative organisms are responsible for infection of the middle ear. AIMS: The study was primarily carried out in 200 cases of C.S.O.M. to determine the bacteriological flora and to study the antibiotic sensitivity pattern of the organisms isolated on culture from discharging ears. RESULTS: In our study Pseudomonas aeruginosa was found to be the most common isolated bacteria (40.65% [100/246] Among the anerobic organisms Peptostreptococcus (5.69%) was the most common followed by Propionibacterium (4.06%) and Bacteroids spp. (3.65%). Amikacin was the most effective antibiotic in the present study. It was effective against maximum number of strains 97(95.48%) followed by Gentamycin 95(92.36%) and Ciprofloxacin 93(91.30%). Cefoperazone 88(86.42%), Cefotaxime 78(74.54%) and Ofloxacin 64(62.68%). CONCLUSION: Efficient and effective treatment of CSOM is based on the knowledge of causative micro-organisms and thus their antimicrobial sensitivity ensures proper clinical recovery and avoidance of the possible dreaded complications. It has been observed that human negligence is one of the main factor responsible for the development of antibiotic resistance. Along with the indiscriminate use of antibiotics by the treating physician the lack of compliance on part of the patient also results in emergence of resistance and thus in treatment failure. It has been frequently encountered that as soon as the symptoms subside and improvement in condition occurs, many patients stop taking antibiotics before completion of therapy and allow partially resistant microbes to flourish and become completely resistant or even multi drug resistant.
