Variations in type and frequency of organisms with increasing age likely result from differences in the preponderance of AOM compared to OE in children versus adults. We found increasing antimicrobial resistance for two organisms commonly isolated from AOM and OE infections, suggesting that aspects of current UK treatment practices and national recommendations may need to be revised.
