[Microbial landscape of upper respiratory passage mucosa in normal and pathological conditions].
Characteristics of the microbial landscape of upper respiratory passage mucosa are presented with special reference to purulent-septic disease of ENT organs. It is shown that acute purulent sinusitis is most frequently associated with the presence of aerobic and facultative anaerobic microorganisms (81%). The main pathogenic agents responsible for the development of acute purulent otitis media are Streptococci (35%), Staphylococci (33%), and Pneumococci (9%). Streptococci and Staphylococci usually occur in patients with paratonsillitis (48-73%).
