Abstract
Objective:To investigate the bacteriologic characteristics of recurrent acute rhinosinusitis(RAR).Method:Twenty-nine patients (29 with RAR) from outpatient clinic in our hospital between June 2010 and May 2016 were enrolled in the study. Specimens of the middle meatus or olfactory cleft area using the sinus endoscopy through were transported to the laboratory for bacterial culture.Result:Twenty-five specimens out of 29 were bacterial culture positive (culture positive rate was 86.2%).A total of 32 isolates (25 aerobic or facultative and 7 anaerobic) were recovered from the 29 cases of RAR. The predominant aerobic or facultative bacteria were Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, and Staphylococcus aureus. The predominant anaerobic bacteria were Bacteroides fragilis and Propionibacterium. Antibiotic susceptibility tests showed that the resistance rate of these aerobic or facultative bacteria to Macrolides (Erythromycin and Azithromycin) and quinolones (Levofloxacin) was 88% and 92%, respectively. Similarly, the resistance rate of bacteria to β-lactamase antibiotics (penicillin, ampicillin, and cefazolin) was also greater than 90% (100%, 92%, and 92%, respectively). But the drug resistance of these bacteria to the thirdgeneration cephalosporin combined with beta lactamase inhibitors (Cefoperazone/sulbactam) was 20%. Among the 7 strains of anaerobic bacteria, 6 strains were sensitive to ornidazole.Conclusion:The major pathogens of RAR are the aerobic and facultative bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, and Staphylococcus aureus, most of which are resistant to commonly used antibiotics.
