“…Chronic persistent infections may also lead to the formation of biofilms [8]. Studies have reported the isolation of the anaerobes and resistant pathogens from the tonsillar and adenoid cultures [9,10]. In India, a substantial proportion of children suffer from recurrent AT.…”

Introduction: Recurrent adenotonsillitis (AT) commonly affects children and may be associated with various complications. Infections are common etiology, and microbial profiles may vary widely in different cases. In this study, we evaluated the bacterial profile and antibiotic sensitivity of pathogens identified in tonsil and adenoid core cultures in children with recurrent AT.Methods: In this cross-sectional, observational study, culture and antibiotic sensitivity were performed from tonsil and adenoid core samples obtained after adenotonsillectomy of children (5 to 18 years) with recurrent AT. Children who had received antibiotics within one week before surgery were excluded. Drug sensitivity was performed only for drugs available on the hospital panel list.Results: Bacterial growth was observed in 83 (91.2%) tonsil core cultures (n=91) and 43 (79.6%) adenoid core cultures (n=54). In the tonsil and adenoid core cultures, poly-microbial growth was seen in 25 (27.0%) and 11 (25.6%) children, respectively. From the tonsil core cultures, the majority of the bacteria were sensitive to ciprofloxacin, ampicillin, piperacillin-tazobactam, cefoperazone-sulbactam, ceftazidime, cefotaxime, levofloxacin. From the adenoid core culture, the majority of the bacteria were sensitive to ciprofloxacin, ampicillin, piperacillin-tazobactam, cefoperazone-sulbactam, cephalexin, and cefotaxime. Conclusion:In recurrent AT, polymicrobial growth is not uncommon in both tonsil and adenoid core cultures. Identifying the correct pathogens and their antibiotic sensitivity patterns can help plan treatment strategies for the effective management of recurrent AT.

“…In addition, lymphoid tissue hypertrophy during childhood may contribute to the development of nasopharyngeal infections, as bacterial biofilms involved in the pathogenesis of chronic adenoiditis may be present throughout the nasopharyngeal mucosa and even in the Eustachian tube [ 9 , 10 , 11 ]. Numerous studies consider AH being a major cause for the onset and development of acute and chronic rhinosinusitis (CR) [ 6 , 12 , 13 , 14 ].…”

The aim of the study was to observe, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the ratio of bacterial biofilm coverage of adenoidal tissue in children diagnosed with chronic rhinosinusitis (CR), compared to the ratio of adenoid bacterial biofilm coverage in children diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We also performed histopathological and immunohistochemical tests to correlate the results with the images obtained from SEM. We estimated, using an image analysis program, the coverage ratio with bacterial biofilm on the surface of the lymphatic tissue. Adenoid vegetation extracted from children with CR had a higher percentage of bacterial biofilm coverage compared to the group diagnosed with OSA. In the nasopharynx of children with CR, the bacterial biofilm had a constant role of infection generator, and adenoidectomy was the only effective therapeutic procedure to relieve the symptoms. Allergy tests were performed in all children to establish a link between CR, OSA and allergic rhinitis.
