عزل الجراثيم الهوائية من لب اللوزتين عند الأطفال المصابين بالتهاب لوزتين متكرر و دراسة حساسيتها للمضادات الحيوية

Abstract EN

Recurrent tonsillitis is the most common infection in childhood, antimicrobial therapy failure and relapse often occurs.

In our study we aimed to isolate and identify the aerobic bacteria located in tonsil’s core in children with recurrent tonsillitis and study its susceptibility to antibiotics.

Specimens were collected from the tonsil’s core of 80 patients, their ages ranging from 5-12 years, suffering from recurrent tonsillitis and undergoing tonsillectomy.

Aerobic bacterial identification and antimicrobial susceptibility were carried out through standard procedures.

All specimens shows bacterial growth .The Gram Positive bacteria were most frequent (83.49%), including Staphylococcus aureus (40%), Staphylococcus epidermidis (26.95%), Streptococcus pyogenes (16.52%).

Gram negative bacteria were 16.51%, including Klebsiella pneumonia (10.43%), and Escherichia coli (6.08%).

Most Gram Positive strains were sensitive to Imepinem, Augmentin, Cefruxim, Cefprozil, and Amikacin, while most Gram Negative was sensitive to Imepinem, Augmentin, and Amikacin
