COMPARATIVE STUDY
JOURNAL ARTICLE
Differences in Antibiotic Resistance of MRSA Infections in Patients with Various Types of Otitis Media.
Journal of International Advanced Otology 2018 December
OBJECTIVES: We investigated the epidemiological and antibiotic resistance differences in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections in patients with otitis media with effusion (OME), acute otitis media (AOM), chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM), and chronic cholesteatomatous otitis media (CCOM).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study of patients with newly identified MRSA infections from January 2009 through January 2017. Overall, 3,522 patients from 10 tertiary referral hospitals were included in the study. An antibiotic sensitivity test was performed for each isolate.
RESULTS: MRSA infections in patients with CSOM and CCOM were more resistant to ciprofloxacin, clindamycin, erythromycin, gentamicin, levofloxacin, and tetracycline. Patients showed good susceptibility to rifampicin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX), and vancomycin.
CONCLUSION: MRSA infections in various otitis media cases showed different resistance patterns. MRSA infections in patients with COM and CCOM were more resistant to antibiotics than those in patients with OME and AOM.
