    Fungal and bacterial presence in tonsillectomy tissues was investigated. Actinomyces and resistant bacteria were common, but minimal tissue response suggests they are typically harmless saprophytes.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Fungal and bacterial presence in tonsillectomy tissues is not well-understood.
    • Investigating the role of microorganisms in tonsillectomy specimens is crucial for understanding oral health.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the prevalence of fungi and bacteria in adult tonsillectomy tissues.
    • To differentiate between pathogenic and saprophytic microorganisms in these tissues.

    Main Methods:

    • Cultural examination of 227 tonsillectomy tissues.
    • Histopathological analysis of the same tissues.
    • Antimicrobial resistance testing for bacteria.

    Main Results:

    • Actinomyces was identified in 30.40% of cases, yeasts in 9.25%, and moulds in 9.25%.

  • Chloramphenicol-resistant bacteria were cultured in 25.11% of samples.
  • Histopathology revealed minimal tissue response, indicating a saprophytic role for Actinomyces and bacteria.

    • Conclusions:

    • Fungi and bacteria, including Actinomyces and resistant bacteria, are frequently found in tonsillectomy tissues.
    • The observed minimal tissue response suggests these microorganisms act as saprophytes rather than primary pathogens in this context.
