Otitis media is the most common reason for children to visit a medical practitioner and it is an important cause of preventable hearing loss. 564 patients of paediatric age group with symptoms of otitis media were studied from ENT and paediatrics department in microbiology department at SHKM, GMC, Mewat from June 2015 to May 2016. Isolates were identified by conventional methods and the antibiotic susceptibility profiles were determined by the standard disk diffusion method. Most common bacterial isolates included Pseudomonas aeruginosa (41.76%), Staphylococcus aureus (33.3%). The Gram positive bacteria antibiogram revealed high sensitivity to ciprofloxacin, cefoxitin, amoxyclav, gentamycin, teicoplanin and vancomycin. While Gram negative bacteria antibiogram reveals sensitivity to ciprofloxacin, ceftazidime, netilmycin, piperacillin tazobactam and gentamycin. Low levels of resistance were found among most clinical isolates in general to the commonly used antibiotics however, an increased frequency of MRSA was detected.
