Sinonasal Microbiome Sampling: A Comparison of Techniques

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The role of the sino-nasal microbiome in CRS remains unclear. We hypothesized that the bacteria within mucosal-associated biofilms may be different from the more superficial-lying, free-floating bacteria in the sinuses and that this may impact on the microbiome results obtained.
