Abstract
Background Middle ear infection is one of the commonest condition found during general practise in our country.This
study was conducted to identify the bacterial causes of ear discharge, with a focus on the bacterial isolates' patterns of
antibiotic susceptibility in order to facilitate effective treatment.This Study was carried out in 70 cases of otitis media attending the ENT opd
The organisms were identied and bacterial sensitivity of the isolates to the commonly used antibiotic was investigated. A total of 70 patients were
included in this study. Out of the 70 cases examined 5 pathogenic strains were isolated. The ndings of our study, which identied the most
frequent ear infection-causing agents and their patterns of sensitivity and resistance, will aid in the appropriate selection of empirical antibiotic
therapy and the prevention of the emergence of resistant strains .
