Abstract:Background:
Microtia, or congenital malformation (smallness or absence) of the outer ear, can be treated with ear prosthetics and/or surgery.
Methods:
Between January 2011 and December 2021, following plastic surgery, microbial strains from patients with microtia were collected, identified, and counted. WHONET 5.6 was used to analyze in vitro drug resistance of the microbial strains, according to procedures outlined by the Clinical and Laboratory Standa… Show more
