Genetic and functional evidence for a role for SLC11A1 in susceptibility to otitis media in early childhood in a Western Australian populationOtitis media (OM) is a common disease in early childhood characterised by inflammation of the middle ear.

New findings in the pathogenesis of otitis mediaThis 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

The Impact of Early-Life Recurrent Otitis Media in Children on the Psychological Well-Being of CaregiversChildren with early-life recurrent otitis media (OM) will often endure pain, sleep disturbances, and other developmental setbacks that impact the surrounding family system. The aim of this study was to investigate the psychological well-being and family functioning of caregivers of children with early-life recurrent OM (rOM).
