Abstract
We compared the distribution of organisms in the nasopharynx and the middle ear fluid in 164 episodes of acute otitis media in children 6-35 months of age. In contrast to Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis is isolated from the middle ear in only 11% of episodes with nasopharyngeal colonization with this organism.
