| Abstract:

Otitis media (OM) an inflammation of the middle ear , is a common illness in childhood and also occurs in adults due
to several factors , microbiological , environmental and social. This study aimed to investigate the microorganisms
aerobic , anaerobic and fungal associated with otitis media.This study was carried out from November 2017 to April
2018 at ENT Department of AL-Hilla Teaching Hospital in Babylon city .In this study collect 90 pus samples from
patients with otitis media were collected from the discharging ears by a sterile transport medium swab from aged
between (1-80 years), (86) cases were positive (95.6%) and (4)cases were unknown agent (4.4%).Number and
percentage of infected males 57 (63.3%) , while number and percentage of infected females 33 (36.7%).Then take
samples to the microbiological laboratory to investigate the bacterial species causing otitis media and the results were
analyzed using percentages.The main results showed high percentages of infection were in age between (1-20 years)
and (41-60 years) (34.4% and 32.2%) respectively .The results from 86 specimens there were Gram positive bacteria
isolates (Staphylocooccusaureus ,Staphylococcus epidermidis ,S. haemolyticus , S. carnosus , Bacillus spp. , S. xylosus ,
S. sciuri , S. lentus , S. capitis , Aerococcus viridians , Kocuriavarians , Gardnellavaginalis , Leuconostocmesenteroides
spp. cremoris) while Gram negative bacteria isolates(Pseudomonas aeruginosa ,Klebsiellapneumoniae, Proteus
mirabilis,E. coli, Pseudmonasfluorescens , Providenciastuartii , Citrobacterfreundii and Acintobacterursingii) and fungi (
Aspergillusniger , Aspergillusflavus , Aspergillusterreusand yeast) .
