| A comparison of the findings from the two swabs led to two
important observations: (1) the pretherapy culture-positive rate
increased from 74% (recovered bacteria) to 80% (recovered and detected
bacteria) and (2) numerous anaerobes were present in the otorrhea

gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, aerobes, anaerobes as well as
