The impact of culturable bacterial community on histopathology in chronic rhinosinusitis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The role of bacteria in the etiopathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) remains an area of interest. The impact of surgery and factors such as the presence of polyps, asthma, and aspirin sensitivity on the bacterial state are poorly understood. To determine the effect of these factors, this study examin...
