Acute otitis media (AOM), a common bacterial infection in young children, predominantly arises following viral upper respiratory tract infections.
Acute otitis media (AOM), a common bacterial infection in young children, predominantly arises following viral upper respiratory tract infections. Key pathogens include Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis, with tympanic membrane bulging serving as a hallmark clinical feature. Tympanocentesis is recommended in cases of recurrent antibiotic failure. Emerging resistance complicates treatment: approximately 40% of S. pneumoniae isolates exhibit penicillin nonsusceptibility (minimum inhibitory concentration >1 μg/mL) due to altered penicillin-binding proteins, while 50% of H. influenzae and nearly all M. catarrhalis strains produce beta-lactamases, rendering amoxicillin ineffective. These resistance trends highlight the necessity for tailored therapeutic strategies to optimize clinical outcomes in pediatric AOM.
