Microflora of the middle ear in acute otoantritis in children

Abstract

We performed bacteriological studies of purulent secretions in 67 children with acute purulent otantritis (age from 1 to 4 years). Nineteen children had pus from the ears on admission to the hospital, and 48 had otitis without otorrhea, and the pathological secretion was obtained by paracentesis under aseptic conditions. In both cases the pathological material was inoculated on a dish with 5% blood agar and Kitt-Tarozzi medium with 0.1% agar agar, incubated at 37° for 24 hours and the isolated microorganisms were studied.
