dc.description.abstractDischarge from the ear is one of the commonest symptoms of infections of the ear. To study the major strains of bacteria encountered in ear discharges, this study was conducted from July 1999, to June 2001 in the microbiology laboratory of Om Hospital. A total of 115 patients, of 6-35 years of age clinically diagnosed as discharging otitis media were studied. In 60.9% single organism and in 26.08% two organisms were isolated. Results revealed that, Staphylococcus aureus (34.3%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (24.3%), Pseudomons aeruginosa (22.8%), Enterobacter sps (7.1%), Esch coli (4.3%), Citrobacter sps (1.4%), Proteus sps (1.4%), Acinetobacter sps (1.4%) and Pneumococci (1.4%) were the common organisms in the discharge. Candida albicans (2.8%) was the pathogen in two cases. In 27.8% of cases the causative agent was not demonstrated. About sixty percent (65.9%), 64.8% and 56.0% of the isolates were sensitive to amikacin, ciprofloxacin and gentamycin respectively.en_US
