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.

We investigated predictors of nasopharyngeal carriage in Australian Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children.

Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM), sometimes referred to as chronic otitis media (COM), is a chronic inflammation and often polymicrobial infection (involving more than one micro-organism) of the middle ear and mastoid cavity, characterised by ear discharge (otorrhoea) through a perforated tympanic membrane.
