Denatonium-induced sinonasal bacterial killing may play a role in chronic rhinosinusitis outcomes.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (ECRS) is a disease characterized by eosinophilic inflammatory infiltrate and a local type 2 cytokine milieu. Current animal models fail to recapitulate many of the innate and adaptive immunologic hallmarks of the disease, thus hindering the development of effective therap...
