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. Tracking dynamic middle ear conditions during antibiotic treatment is not readily applicable in patien...
