To isolate causative organisms and drug sensitivity pattern for CSOM associated Otomycosis patients. Bacteria andfungus were identified with conventional macroscopic and microscopic staining procedures.
A total 128 samples were collected from ear infection patients and processed those in different agar media for identification of organism and for antibiotic susceptibility test of those organisms was performed against the commonly used antibiotic and antifungal drug
out of 128 samples, a total of 79 organisms were identified as bacteria and 38 organisms were identified as fungus. It was revealed that C. tropicalis (41.66%) was predominant in Otomycosis andaspergillus sp. (5.55%) was the least causative organism.
The aspergillus and candida species are the most common fungal isolates and s.aureus and pseudomonas species are most common bacterial isolates in ear infection. In ear discharging patient both CSOM and Otomycosis can be revealed. So, before treatment the causative organism and their drug sensitivity pattern should be carried out. The empirical therapy should be avoided and for early detection of drug sensitivity pattern PCR method should be implemented.
