| Popis: | Microbiology and susceptibility of middle ear (ME) pathogens are changing continuously. The aim of the present study was to report the isolation and characterization of causative bacteria involved in acute suppurative otitis media (ASOM) in Egypt. The study was conducted for a period of 6 months from February 2009 - August 2009. Seventy six patients with ASOM of all age groups and both sexes attending Kasr Al Aini Teaching Hospital outpatient clinic were randomly selected for the study. Seventy eight pus samples were obtained for the study.
