“…Bacteria have been demonstrated in gerbilline OM and cholesteatoma [12][13][14] and were always present in the cholesteatoma matrix of our animals. By-products of trapped bacteria may factor into hyperproliferation of keratinocytes as significant thickening of canal epithelium did not occur until after occlusion.…”

The structure of the lamina propria of the tympanic membrane was reported to be little affected.…”
