Middle ear infections are the most common reason for a child to be given antibiotics and undergo surgery. This project will investigate whether a harmless bacterium found in the respiratory tract of children can be used as a probiotic to prevent bacterial ear infections. Benefits from reducing ear infections include fewer children undergoing surgery, fewer GP visits and antibiotic prescriptions, less time off work for parents, reduced hearing loss in children, and improved educational outcomes.

中耳炎是儿童接受抗生素和手术的最常见原因。该项目将研究在儿童呼吸道中发现的一种无害细菌是否可以用作益生菌来预防细菌性耳部感染。减少耳部感染的好处包括更少的儿童接受手术，更少的家庭医生就诊和抗生素处方，更少的父母下班时间，减少儿童听力损失，以及改善教育成果。
