Haemophilus influenzae remains the predominant otitis media pathogen in Australian children undergoing ventilation tube insertion in the PCV13 era
The aetiology of recurrent and/or chronic OM in children continues to be primarily associated with H. influenzae. These data highlight the need for a concerted effort to develop effective preventative strategies for H. influenzae, most notably, nontypeable (NTHi). Higher valency PCVs may impact on pneumococcal OM.
