Longitudinal optical coherence tomography to visualize the in vivo response of middle ear biofilms to antibiotic therapy
Abstract Studying the impact of antibiotic treatment on otitis media (OM), the leading cause of primary care office visits during childhood, is critical to develop appropriate treatment strategies.
