The Most Common Causes of Bacterial Ear Infections
Keywords:
-
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the most prevalent bacteria in the ear secretion samples collected from probable otitis media patients in Basrah, Iraq. The results showed a significant relationship between age and the probability of middle ear infections. The most commonly isolated microbial species were seen to be Pseudomonas spp., Proteus spp., and Staphylococcus aureus. The results showed that S. aureus was the most common strain found in adults, while Pseudomonas spp. primarily affected the kids.
