Age-Dependent Dissimilarity of the Nasopharyngeal and Middle Ear Microbiota in Children With Acute Otitis Media

Age-Dependent Dissimilarity of the Nasopharyngeal and Middle Ear Microbiota in Children With Acute Otitis Media

Acute bacterial otitis media is usually caused by otopathogens ascending to the middle ear from the nasopharynx (NP).
