Isolation & Identification of Bacteria Causes Otitis Media in Children, Study the Resistance to Antimicrobials and The Effect of Cerumen and Xylitol on Selected Isolated Bacteria.

Abstract

In this study Isolated Pathogenic bacteria which causes Otitis Media in Children with ages between 3-17 years. They are admitted to Central Children Hospital (Al-Karch) and Ebn-Albalady Hospital (Al-Rusafa). 274 cases were collected which include 144 Male and 130 Female. The result of the recent study shows that the isolation percentage was 40% from Male and 31% from Female. In this study Eighty eight isolated were Identified, 39 Isolates were Pseudomonas aeruginosa, formed (44%) from all isolated.17 Isolates were Streptococcus pneumoniae formed (20%). 9 isolates were Proteus mirabilis formed (10%). The number of Moraxella catarrhalis was 8 formed (9%), the number of Haemophilus influenzae was 7 formed (8%).Whereas the number of Staphylococcus aureus was 5 formed (6%). Finally 2 isolates of Proteus vulgaris formed (2%). The Antimicrobial Susceptility test to commonly used Antimicrobial shows that the most isolate Bacteria were sensitive to Antimicrobial ( AML, AMP, E, GM, S, and T ) and Resistance to ( CX and C ) with some exception. The Antimicrobial Susceptility test of Staphylococcus aureus to Oxacillin showed the predominant of Oxacillin-Sensitive S. aureus (OSSA) which form 70% whereas the percentage of Oxacillin -Resistant S. aureus (ORSA) was 30%. The Effect of Cerumen on 35 Isolates Shows the Efficiency of Cerumen on almost Isolates were 19 isolates were sensitive to Cerumen which formed (54%), and 16 isolates were resistant to Cerumen which formed (46%).
