Signaling defects in the Toll-like receptor (TLR) pathway, such as interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 deficiency, highlight the prominence of TLR signaling in the defense against bacterial disease. Because myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MyD88) can transduce signals from almost all TLRs, we studied its role in otitis media (OM), the most common upper respiratory tract bacterial infectious disease in young children.
