Objective

The objective of the study was to find out the microbiota of cases of chronic suppurative otitis media and its radiological correlation in disease severity.

50 patients with CSOM were prospectively studied. Swabs were taken and cultured for bacteria. HRCT temporal bone was done and microbiota relation with severity was studied.

We found the predominant organism to be staphylococcus aureus (44%) followed by psedumonas (22%). On radiological correlation maximum erosive property was seen with pseudomonas followed by methicillin sensitive staphylococcus aureus and Coagulase negative staphylococcus aureus.
