Resumen
Fundamento

El objetivo de este estudio es revisar y actualizar la etiología bacteriana de la otitis media crónica y la sensibilidad antibiótica de los microorganismos implicados

Método

Se ha realizado un estudio retrospectivo en el que se incluyen 127 pacientes adultos con otitis media crónica, entre los años 2000 y 2004. A las bacterias aisladas se les realizaron pruebas de sensibilidad antibiótica a: quinolonas, aminoglucósidos, colistina, oxacilina, amoxicilinaclavulánico y cefalosporinas

Resultados

Los aislamientos más frecuentes fueron bacilos gram-negativos, principalmente Pseudomonas aeruginosa en el 47,6%, Staphylococcus aureus en el 21%. Entre los resultados destaca la resistencia del 18% de las cepas de P. aeruginosa a ciprofloxacino y del 21,6% de resistencia de S. aureus a levofloxacino. Además el 10,8% de las cepas de S. aureus fue resistente a betalactámicos

Conclusión

El principal patógeno encontrado es P. aeruginosa, seguido de S. aureus. Existe un incremento del desarrollo de las resistencias bacterianas a los antibióticos, por lo que es necesario realizar antibiograma sistemáticamente

Abstract
Background

This study provides an update on the bacterial aetiology of chronic otitis media in our area and the antibiotic sensivity of the bacteria involved in this pathology

Methods

A retrospective study from 2000 to 2004, is carried out in a total of 127 adults diagnosed of chronic otitis media. Isolated bacteria were tested in vitro regarding sensitivity to fluoroquinolones, aminoglyosides, colistin, oxacilin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and cephalosporins

Results

The most common pathogens we found were gramnegative organisms, especially Pseudomonas aeruginosa (47,7%), but among gram positive organisms, Staphylococcus aureus, was involved in a significant number of infections (21%). The main findings that we found were as follows: 18% of P. aeruginosa strains were resistant to ciprofloxacin and 21,8% S. aureus strains were resistant to levofloxacin. 10,8% of S. aureus strains showed resistance to β-lactams

Conclusion

The most important pathogen in our study was P. aeruginosa along with a variety of other gram-negative organisms and S. aureus. There is growing concern over the use of antibiotics and the development of resistance. We need to evaluate the antimicrobial activity by determining the susceptibility of a particular antibiotic against a specific bacterial strain
