OBJECTIVE To study the pathogenic bacteria and its resistance to antibiotics in chronic suppurative otitis media. METHODS Secretion from 132 cases with chronic suppurative otitis media were cultured. Drug sensitivity tests were done to separate pathogenic bacteria. RESULTS 152 strains pathogenic bacteria were isolated from middle ear secretion. The main pathogenic bacteria were staphylococcus aureus (49 strains), pseudomonas aeruginosa (25 strains) and fungus (5 strains). Staphylococcus aureus was sensitive to fluorquinolones, and the sensitivity rate was 79.6 %. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was sensitive to fluoroquinolones and floxacin, and the sensitivity rates were 84 % and 64 %. CONCLUSION Staphylococcus aureus and pseudomonas aeruginosa are main pathogens of chronic suppurative otitis media in our region. Both of them are sensitive to fluorquinolones. Meanwhile, pseudomonas aeruginosa is also sensitive to ceftazidime of the third cephalosporins. So doctors should choose the sensitive antibiotics for treatment of the chronic suppurative otitis media, that may avoid the bacteria with drug resistance come into being. The fungus can not be neglected as the pathogen in chronic suppurative otitis media.

Biosafety of pathogenic microbiology laboratories generally highlights the use of protective equipment, procedures, and operating practices to protect personnel and the environment from potentially hazardous biological materials. Under the current complex situation where traditional and non-traditional biosafety issues coexist, laboratory-acquired infection (LAI) of pathogenic microorganisms may cause illness, disability and even death. Pathogenic microorganisms may also be carried to the surrounding environment, causing community infection, which should be taken seriously. Analysis of LAI cases helps to understand the causes of exposure and learn lessons from post-exposure prophylaxis to be prepared and even prevent problems before they happen. Human factors cause most LAIs, laboratory activities related to aerosolization, laboratory activities related to sharps materials, low ability of personnel performing the work, and deficiencies in laboratory facilities or management are the four main factors. This study focuses on the human factors that lead to LAI, combined with confirmed cases, discusses the biosafety risks of pathogenic microorganism laboratories, reviews the development and evolution of biosafety laboratories and the current protection measures for experimenters, and accordingly puts forward countermeasures and suggestions.
