Microbial communities of the upper respiratory tract and otitis media in children
Streptococcus pneumoniae asymptomatically colonizes the upper respiratory tract of
children and is a frequent cause of otitis media. Patterns of microbial colonization likely
influence S. pneumoniae colonization and otitis media susceptibility. This study compared
microbial communities in children with and without otitis media. Nasal swabs and clinical
and demographic data were collected in a cross-sectional study of Philadelphia, PA,
children (6 to 78 months)(n= 108) during the 2008-2009 winter respiratory virus season …
