Retrospective Study: In a retrospective review of 134 chronic rhinosinusitis patients, a DNA microbiome analysis was performed in an effort to identify any similarities or differences in clinical subgroups (65 had nasal polyps, 14 had allergic fungal rhinosinusitis, and 55 had neither). Between 1 and 11 taxa were observed in taxa with >2% relative abundance. Samples from nasal polyp patients and allergic fungal rhinosinusitis patients had an increased prevalence of S aureus. Otherwise, bacterial richness was remarkably low in all samples. Read Study
