The microbiome of the maxillary sinus and middle nasal meatus in chronic rhinosinusitis

Abstract: The results obtained suggest that common upper airway pathogens do not play a major role in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis. The microbiome of inflamed sinonasal mucosa is extremely diverse and involves exotic species of bacteria that, to date, have not been considered as potential inhabitants of the paranasal sinuses.

“…Sinus mucosa produces nitric oxide (NO), which is a vascular mediator . New concepts such as sinus microbiota and microbiome have revealed the complexity of the physiopathology of chronic sinusitis . We cannot explain why, in our study, fungal ball was found in the smallest MS in the FB group in 93% of cases.…”

“…The antibiotic abuse among other medications by most of our patients could have rendered the antrum sterile as at the time of the study. Pathogenic anaerobic organisms have been isolated with varied frequencies from similar studies that included anaerobic isolation from maxillary antral specimens of patients with chronic maxillary sinusitis (19,(33)(34)(35).…”

“…Therefore, logic dictates that if antibiotic therapy targets only the classic culprits of sinusitis, with Gram-negatives present, we may be achieving an incomplete or even inappropriate eradication of microflora and pathogens. This could explain and contribute to therapeutic failure in recurrent sinusitis, its transition into chronicity, and its interpretation as noninfectious [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19].…”
