title: [Properties of nasal mucosal microflora in patients with allergic rhinosinusitis].
abstract: Analysis of microbial composition of nasal mucosa in patients with allergic rhinitis revealed marked changes in microflora compared with healthy subjects. Specifically, the overall diversity of staphylococci decreased while the abundance of S. aureus increased. The number of strains with pathogenic and persisting properties in patients with allergic rhinitis was greater than in controls.
