Characterization of middle ear microbiome in otitis media with effusion in Hungarian children: Alloiococcus otitidis may potentially hamper the microbial diversity
The conventional culture technique and 16S rRNA results were not congruent. Remarkably, <i>Alloiococcus</i> could not be cultured at all, even by 16S rRNA analysis the presence of <i>Alloiococcus</i> seems to be important. Based on our results, <i>A. otitidis</i> possibly impacts the diversity of middle ear microbiome in children with OME. However, further studies are required to determine the role of <i>A. otidis</i> in middle ear pathologies.
