The microbiology and antimicrobial resistance patterns in chronic rhinosinusitis

Chronic rhinosinusitis in children—Bacteriological analysis in terms of cytological examination

“…In cultures obtained from the middle meatus and maxillary sinus, most frequently CNS were found (31.2%, 57.8%), similar to studies presented by Orobello, Kremer, and Chan and others [8,[22][23][24]. The range given in the literature on the incidence of this type of bacteria oscillates from several to 100%.…”

Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns of Aerobic Organisms in Patients With Chronic Rhinosinusitis in Hamadan, Iran

“…These observations have been confirmed by our findings in the current study among patients with sinusitis. Meanwhile, surveillance studies have indicated a significant resistance development due to alteration of penicillin binding proteins (19,20).…”

Different clinical factors associated with Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in chronic rhinosinusitis

“…Previous studies have shown that, unlike the well-recognized most common bacteria recovered from adult acute rhinosinusitis (ARS) patients, ie, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis, 5,6 the common bacterial isolates from CRS patients are coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CoNS), Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. [7][8][9][10] However, most of the published studies are descriptive studies. 7,8,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Our previous study has evaluated the associations between positive CoNS culture at functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and CRS severity, and we found that CoNS as the sole positive culture result was independently associated with having no history of FESS.…”
