Clinical application of a bacteriology study on Otitis media.

Otitis media (OM) is a notorious inflammation of middle ear that mainly affects tympanic membrane and a major health problem in developing countries causing serious local damage and threatening complications. The focus was mainly on aerobic bacteria, involved in active OM in adults as well as children. An attempt was made, despite resource and man power constraints, to have a glimpse of the current antibiotic sensitivity pattern Early and effective treatment based on the knowledge of causative micro-organisms and their antimicrobial sensitivity ensures prompt clinical recovery and possible complications can thus be avoided.
