INTRODUCTION: @entity17107 is a common complication of @entity697 . Its management consists of aspiration or surgical drainage followed by appropriate antibiotics. Appropriate antibiotic treatment depends on the common organisms associated with @entity281 and their antibiotic sensitivity pattern in local scenario. METHODS: Pus samples aspirated from diagnosed cases of @entity17107 and submitted for culture and sensitivity in last two years were included in this study. Identification of different microorganisms was made on the basis of the microscopic findings, observation of their colony morphology and standard biochemical reactions. Susceptibility pattern to commonly used antibiotics were determined by Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines. RESULTS: Altogether 24 pus samples were included in the study. Positive culture was obtained from 18 samples. Among them one organism was isolated from 13 samples whereas from five samples multiple organisms were isolated. From six samples no organisms could be cultured. Altogether @entity4195 was isolated from 12 samples and @entity794 from five samples. Other isolated organisms included Haemophlilus influenzae, @entity796 , @entity526 and Enterococcus species. @entity114 was effective for @entity4195 whereas @entity794 was resistant to it. @entity5152 was found to be effective for @entity794 . @entity2177 and @entity5505 were found to be effective for both organisms. CONCLUSIONS: @entity4195 and @entity794 were more commonly associated with @entity17107 . @entity4195 were sensitive to @entity114 but all @entity794 were resistant to it. This fact should be considered in clinical practice for management of @entity17107 .
