We found that 20 (10.6%) of 188 patients with chronic suppurative otitis media in Angola were co-colonized with fluoroquinolone-resistant Alcaligenes faecalis, commonly found in birds. A likely explanation for our findings was the use of bird feces by residents as a traditional remedy to prevent ear secretions caused by primary ear infection.
我们发现，在安哥拉 188 例慢性化脓性中耳炎患者中，有 20 例（10.6%）同时定植了氟喹诺酮耐药粪产碱杆菌，这种细菌通常存在于鸟类中。我们研究结果的一个可能解释是，居民使用鸟粪作为一种传统疗法来预防由原发性耳部感染引起的耳分泌物。
