Oral inoculation of young dairy calves with Mycoplasma bovis results in colonization of tonsils, development of otitis media and local immunity.

Maunsell F, Brown MB, Powe J, Ivey J, Woolard M, Love W, Simecka JW.Author information Department of Infectious Diseases and Pathology, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, United States of America.AbstractBecause M. bovis otitis media is an economically important problem, there is a need to understand the pathogenesis of disease, not only to improve our understanding of the factors contributing to the development of this disease but also to inform the development of improved diagnostic tests and therapy. Oral ingestion of M. bovis-contaminated milk is linked, but not definitively proven, to development of otitis media. In the current study, we demonstrate that oral ingestion of M. bovis infected colostrum can result in an ascending infection and development of otitis media. Importantly, M. bovis was found to have a previously unrecognized tendency for colonization of the tonsils of calves, which most likely contributed to the subsequent development of otitis media. In contrast, transtracheal inoculation failed to produce clinically significant upper respiratory tract disease, although did induce lower respiratory tract disease. The upper respiratory tract was the major site of M. bovis-specific B cell and mucosal IgA responses in calves inoculated by the oral route. The oral inoculation route of infection presented here is particularly suited to the study of host-pathogen interactions during initial colonization of the tonsils, expansion of infection and dissemination to the lower respiratory tract and middle ear. In addition, it could be used to investigate potential new preventative or control strategies, especially those aimed at limiting colonization of the tonsils and/or spread to the middle ear.

Otitis media and tonsils--role of adenoidectomy in the treatment of chronic otitis media with effusion.

Park K.Author information Department of Otolaryngology, Ajou University School of Medicine, Suwon, South Korea. parkkh@ajou.ac.krAbstractInnate immunity involves the first line of the mucosal defense system. Homeostatic defense of the middle ear and Eustachian tube is maintained in part by molecules related to the innate immunity. The middle ear and tonsils are the organs related to the innate immunity. Recent attention has focused on the possibility that chronic otitis media and adenotonsillitis may represent a chronic infective state such as evidenced in conditions secondary to biofilms or small colony variants. The role of biofilms in the persistence of chronic mucosal-based ENT-related infections was first recognized in otitis media and adenotonsillitis. The efficacy of adenotonsillectomy on otitis media with effusion (OME) has been demonstrated by several randomized and controlled studies. It was speculated that tonsil and adenoid may play a role as an infectious focus to OME. In summary, patients suffering from recurrent or chronic OME may benefit from adenoidectomy due to the removal of an infectious source in the nasopharynx rather than the removal of a large adenoidal mass.
