ABSTRACT Acute otitis media (AOM) is the most common reason for outpatient antimicrobial therapy. Mixed infections pose a potential problem, since first-line drug used treatment of AOM, amoxicillin, can be neutralized by β-lactamase-producing pathogens upper respiratory tract. To study effects 5-day course amoxicillin on mixed middle ear infection, rats were challenged with Streptococcus pneumoniae alone or in combination nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae .
