[Bacteriologic evaluation of otitis externa and chronic otitis media].
The authors present results of bacteriological examinations in 187 patients with chronic otitis media (OMC) and otitis externa treated in ENT Department, Medical University of Gdańsk in the years 1997-1998. Ear swabs and aspirates were investigated for aerobes and anaerobes 254 bacterial isolates were obtained. Among 150 patients with OMC aerobes were isolated in 130 (86.7%) in 13 (8.5%) mixed aero-anaerobes flore and in 20 (19.3%) no bacterial growth was observed. From patients with COM there were 199 bacterial isolates among them 177 aerobes cultures, 13 anaerobes and 9 fungal. From the external ear canal there were 55 cultures, among them 45 (81.8%) aerobes, 6 (10.9%) mixed aero-anerobes and 4 (7.3%) fungal. The most frequent observed bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Proteus mirabilis which showed the best susceptibility on ciprofloxacine and amikacine.
