In reference to targeted imaging modality selection for bacterial biofilms in chronic rhinosinusitis and different biofilms, different disease? a clinical outcomes study.

摘要

Dear Editor:We read with interest two recent reports on biofilms in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) by Foreman et al.and Foreman and Wormald.2 We agree with the authors that future studies of species-specific biofilms such as Staphy-lococcus aureus would be an effective approach to identifying CRS patients who may progress poorly after surgery.Thus, we will limit our comments to the methodologies used to detect biofilms with S aureus.
