Pathogenic Potential of < em > Turicella otitidis < /em > and < em > Staphylococcus auricularis < /em > : A Case Report

Conclusions: Our findings suggest the potential pathogenicity of T. otitidis and S. auricularis, especially among patients with prior ear surgery and tympanic membrane perforation. Violation of the epithelial barrier from surgery or trauma may contribute to their pathogenicity. Future study is warranted to elucidate pathogenicity of normal aural flora and its mechanisms.PMID:38389189 | DOI:10.1177/01455613241230245
