Evaluation of current bacteriological profile and antibiotic sensitivity pattern in Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM)

To determine the current bacteriological profile of CSOM, their antimicrobial sensitivity and resistance pattern towards local antibiotic used and the most sensitive antibiotic against isolated bacteria causing CSOM. This was a cross-sectional study involving a total of 91 ear swabs obtained from pa...
