Article Synopsis
- Inadequate antibiotic usage and patient non-compliance have led to increased antibiotic resistance in common bacteria, especially in cases of chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM).
- A year-long study involving 120 CSOM patients revealed that 116 had detectable pathogens, with the most common bacteria showing varying sensitivity to antibiotics like erythromycin and cotrimoxazole.
- The study highlights the need for tailored antibiotic policies based on bacteriological analysis to combat resistance and promote effective treatment strategies for CSOM.
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most frequently encountered problems in ambulatory medicine. The present study was designed to determine siderophore production as the urovirulence factor of Escherichia coli isolated from the patients of UTI. A total of 160 strains of E.
