Abstract:

Background: Acute otitis media (AOM) is one of the most common bacterial infections in children. The emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a threat to the management of these infections. The objective of this study was to identify and describe the sensitivity profile of bacterial agents isolated in AOM to commonly used antibiotics in the city of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.                            Continue reading “Antibiotic susceptibility of bacteria isolated from suppurative acute otitis media in children in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso  “
