Studying the Incidence of Pseudomonas Species as A Causative Agent of Otitis in Iraqi Patients

Abstract

Otitis can affect the inner or outer parts of the ear. Some times it is difficult in a rapid response to the treatment. The condition is classified according to occured suddenly for a short time (acute) or repeatedly over a long period of time (chronic).The types of treatments and sustainability were depended in most cases on bacterial infections. 23 samples of Iraqi patients infected with otitis collected from Yarmook hospital. The aural exudates screened to determine whether the infection was external or interior ear on MacConkey agar, and the negative Gram bacteria has been selected due to its higher connectivity with human diseases. The growth colonies diagnosed by assay of biochemical reaction and we genetically confirmed the availability of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by PCR. The diversity of bacterial infection showed the dominancy of Pseudomonas spp. (60%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (17%) in it compared to other bacteria such as Proteus Vulgaris (13%), Morganella morganii (4%) and Klebsiella spp. (4%).
