Abstract

Otitis media is an important public health condition, particularly in children. Globally, it is estimated that 391.3 million people were affected by otitis media in 2021. It is ranked the fifth leading global burden of disease and the second cause of hearing loss. This study was conducted to identify the bacterial agents causing otitis media and their antibiotic resistance patterns at the St. Dominic Hospital in Ghana from 2020 to 2022.
