[Bacterial flora in chronic purulent maxillary sinusitis]

In the years from 1993 till 1995 there were 132 tests done on occurrence aerobes (oxygen bacteria) and 56 tests on occurrence of anaerobes and fungus in patients with chronic sinusitis. The most common microorganisms among the aerobes was Haemophilus influenzae (23.1%) and Staphylococcus aureus (20.9%). The most common microorganisms among the anaerobes was Peptococcus and Peptostreptococcus (together 57.1%) and from the strains Bacteroides (36.8). The breeded oxygen microorganisms Gr(+) were mostly sensible to clindamycin, cefuroxim and augmentin; Gr(-) organisms to amicacin, gentamycin and cefuroxim. Anaerobes were mostly sensible to metronidazole and clindamycin.
