• Conditions: Cholesteatoma; Microbial Colonization; Otitis Media, Suppurative Chronic

• Registration Number: NCT06424704
• Lead Sponsor: Selcuk University

Brief Summary

This study is planned to reveal the microbiological agents and drug sensitivities to these agents in patients diagnosed with chronic suppurative otitis media who complain of ear discharge.

Detailed Description

Patients with complaints of ear discharge and who were diagnosed with chronic suppurative otitis media will be included in the study. Patients will be divided into two groups: CSOM with cholesteatoma and CSOM without cholesteatoma. One hundred ten patients from each group will be included in the study. After a comprehensive medical history is taken for each patient, the patient's external auditory canal will be cleaned with sterile aspirators. A sterile culture will be taken from the discharge of the ear and sent to microbiology. With the data obtained from microbiological examination, pathogens will be classified as gram-positive, gram-negative, anaerobic, and fungal and examined according to monomicrobial and polymicrobial growth. Antibiotic susceptibility tests will be conducted to determine the effectiveness of antibiotics against the bacteria causing the infection.
