Characterization, prognostic factors, and clinical profile of ear infections by Turicella otitidis: Revealing the emerging rise of a controversial pathogen

This study highlights the importance of preventing and treating ear infections caused by Turicella otitidis, especially in the context of migration and changes in leisure habits. The pathogenic role of T. otitidis is debated, suggesting its involvement in various ear infections with antibiotic resistance. Preventive measures should include maintaining good ear hygiene, regular monitoring, and appropriate antibiotic selection based on susceptibility profiles. Further research is needed to clarify its pathogenic role and its relationship with factors such as age and adenoid obstruction. Despite limitations, this study expands knowledge on these emerging infections and raises questions for future research.
