Otitis media (OM) is a common disease in early childhood characterised by inflammation of the middle ear.
This study was the first to concurrently identify middle ear pathogens in both bacterial biofilm and intracellularly in the middle ear mucosa of children and to identify extensive DNA stranding in the MEF from children with AOM
We identified several novel candidate genes which warrant further analysis in cohorts matched more precisely for clinical phenotypes.
Both bacteria and viruses play a role in the development of acute otitis media, however, the importance of specific viruses is unclear.
This study evaluated the clinical utility of the Parent Listening and Understanding Measure (PLUM) questionnaire as a potential screening tool for otitis media (OM) and associated hearing loss in Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander and non-Aboriginal children.
We investigated predictors of nasopharyngeal carriage in Australian Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children.
