Genomic insights into the diversity, antibiotic resistance, and virulence potential of staphylococci isolated from pediatric patients with chronic otitis media with effusion (COME).

Abstract excerpt

Background: Chronic otitis media with effusion (COME) is a prevalent pediatric condition characterized by persistent middle ear effusion, potentially leading to hearing loss and developmental delays. Methods: We investigated the diversity, antibiotic resistance, and virulence potential of Staphylococcus species in COME through whole genome sequencing of 16 clinically-derived strains isolated from pediatric...
