Abstract
Chronic suppurative otitis media is a disease with worldwide prevalence having potentially serious long term effects. It is a disease well known for its recurrence and persistence despite treatment. A study on culture and sensitivity of aural discharge collected from 40 cases of bilateral chronic suppurative otitis media was done to compare the bacteriological profile of either ear. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the major organism isolated in both ears and was sensitive to Amikacin and newer drugs like Gatifloxacin. It was concluded that the infecting organisms in case of bilateral chronic suppurative otitis media are remarkably similar. If adequate treatment is instituted early, it can go a long way in reducing the prevalence of this socially embarrassing disease.
