Otitis media (OM), radang telinga tengah, adalah sangat umum penyakit pediatrik global [1], [2]. Tidak seperti banyak penyakit menular lainnya, OM bakteri tidak disebabkan oleh mikroorganisme klasik virulen, tetapi dengan komensal nasofaring pediatrik (NP) yang dapat tetap berperilaku sebagai patogen oportunistik ketika kondisi optimal bagi mereka untuk melakukannya. OM merupakan penyebab signifikan morbiditas dan memiliki banyak penting gejala sisa, seperti kehilangan pendengaran konduktif [3], [4] disertai dengan penundaan dalam bahasa, perilaku dan kognitif pengembangan [2], [5]. Selain itu, langsung dan tidak langsung biaya yang berkaitan dengan OM diperkirakan melebihi $5 miliar per tahun di Amerika Serikat sajaOM is often associated with preceding or concurrent viral upper respiratory tract infection, such as those caused by parainfluenza virus [9], influenza virus [10], [11], [12], rhinovirus [13], adenovirus [14] and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) [9], [13]. Infection by upper respiratory tract viruses results in dysregulation of normal Eustachian tube (ET) function via decreased mucociliary action, altered mucus secretion by goblet cells and increased expression of inflammatory mediators of the host [15], [16], [17], among other mechanisms. The resultant transient reduction in protective functions of the ET provides the opportunity for commensal bacteria of the NP to ascend into the middle ear and cause disease. The three most common bacterial causative agents of OM are Streptococcus pneumoniae, nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHI) and Moraxella catarrhalis, all of which are normal commensal species of the pediatric NP [18], [19], [20]. To better understand the pathogenesis of OM, animal models are utilized in the study of all three predominant pathogens of OM [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27], [28], [29], [30], [31], [32]; however, the lack of a model wherein M. catarrhalis ascends into the middle ear has strongly hindered studies of M. catarrhalis-induced OM.
