SUSCEPTIBILITY OF MICROORGANISMS ISOLATED FROM CHRONIC SUPPURATIVE OTITIS-MEDIA TO CIPROFLOXACIN

In order to evaluate the susceptibility of the microorganisms isolated from chronic suppurative otitis media to ciprofloxacin, cultures of s pecimens from 127 patients with chronic suppurative otitis media and t heir antibiotic sensitivity results were examined. The most common aer obic isolates were Pseudomonas sp., Proteus sp. and Staphylococcus aur eus with recovery rates of 40.7%, 21.6% and 19.1% respectively. Sensit ivity results showed that 6.2% of Pseudomonas isolates, 2.9% of Proteu s isolates, 10% of Staphylococcus aureus isolates and 8.3% of Escheric hia coli isolates were resistant to ciprofloxacin.
