ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze pathogenic bacteria distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility in children with acute otitis media(AOM ) .Methods Otorrhea samples from 146 episodes of AOM were cultured .The antimi‐crobial susceptibility of the main pathogenic bacteria was determined .The results were analyzed by SPSS19 .0 .Re‐sults 1) The strains of bacteria were isolated from 109 children with the positive rate of 74 .66% .Streptococcus pneumoniae (SP ) was the major bacteria(64 episodes ,58 .72% ) ,followed by staphlococcus aureus(SA) (19 epi‐sodes ,17 .43% ) .2) Sp was all sensitive to vancomycin ,levofloxacin ,moderate to penicillin ,amoxicillin ,cefo‐taxime ,and highly resistent to erythromycin and clindamycin .Staphlococcus aureus were all sensitive to vancomy‐cin ,tetracycline ,and Amy card ,and moderate to amoxicillin clavulanic acid potassium ,cefoxitin ,and oxacillin ,all resistent to penicillin and ampicillin .3) The strains of SP in age≤1year ,>1 -3years ,and >3 years respectively were 31(50 .82% ) ,25(56 .82% ) ,8 (19 .51% ) .There were significant differences between them(χ2 =14 .073 ,P=0 .001) .4)The strains of SP in 2012 ,2013 ,2014 respectively were 16(30 .19% ) ,22(48 .89% ) ,26(54 .17% ) ,There were significant differences between them(χ2 =6 .557 ,P=0 .038) .The antimicrobial susceptibility of SP had no sig‐nificant differences among 2012 ,2013 ,2014 ,but a yearly resistance decreasing trend was seen .Conclusion SP was the main bacterial contributor for AOM in Wuhan children .SP detection rate increases every year ,mainly in chil‐dren less than 3 years old .T he antimicrobial susceptibility is stable .
