Inhaltsangabe

Biofilms definitively play a role in otitis media. Biofilms are multicellular networks of bacteria encased in a matrix. Understanding the nature of the biofilm component in the pathogenesis of otitis media will likely have a meaningful influence on the development of novel strategies in the prevention and/or treatment of otitis media. This book provides an overview in addition to some new data, while simultaneously attempting to shed light on the specific mechanisms involved in middle ear pathologies. The text includes executive summaries linked to clear objectives and diagrams or figures in order to fully convey a clear and powerful message.
