OBJECTIVE: To report the result of causative organisms in chronic suppurative otitis media with cholesteatoma.
METHODS: Eighty eight patients clinically diagnosed with chronic suppurative otitis media with cholesteatoma, and confirmed intra-operatively and by histological examination were pre-operatively studied for the causative bacteria and fungi.
RESULTS: A single isolate was obtained in 42 (48%) cases, no growth was isolated in 11 (12.5%) cases. Most common bacteria isolated were, Pseudomonas aeruginosa in 51%, Staphylococcus aureus in 31%, and Proteus species in 17%. Among the 15 fungal isolates, 9 (10%) were Aspergillus species and the remaining 6 (7%) were Candida albicans.
CONCLUSION: Conventional ear swabs taken under direct vision using an operating microscope are reliable in establishing the microbiological profile of chronic suppurative otitis media.
