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%).
