The project is searching for ‘good’ bacteria in the upper airways of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (A&TSI) children that have the ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria that causes middle ear disease. These ‘good’ bacteria constitute a possible probiotic and will be matched to commercially available probiotic strains. These probiotic strains will then be used to recolonise the upper airways of A&TSI children to determine whether we can reduce the recurrence of middle ear disease.

该项目正在原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民 (A&TSI) 儿童的上呼吸道中寻找“好”细菌，这些细菌能够抑制引起中耳疾病的细菌生长。这些“好”细菌构成了可能的益生菌，并将与市售益生菌菌株相匹配。然后，这些益生菌菌株将用于重新定殖 A&TSI 儿童的上呼吸道，以确定我们是否可以减少中耳疾病的复发。
