ANALES DE LA SOCIEDAD ANDALUZA DE OTORRINOLARINGOLOGÍA Y PATOLOGÍA CÉRVICO-FACIAL (16965140)- 2003,n.6- p. 51-60Abstract
A bacteriological study on 50 out-patients presenting with othorrea was performed
prospectively at Carlos Haya University Hospital in Malaga ( Spain) between
October 2002 and january 2003. A total of 63 isolates were recovered.
Staphylococcus was found in 16 (32%) and Pseudomonas in 13 (26%) isolates.
Pseudomonas was found to be the most common pathogen (30%) in otitis externa.
The incidence of otomycosis was of note (22%) compared with other studies.
Two of 13 Pseudomonas isolates were resistant to quinolones and gentamycin.
Two of 16 Staphylococci showed low susceptibility to gentamycin and three to quinolones.
However, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus was only found in one
case.
