Anaerobic Bacteriological Microbiota in Surface and Core of Tonsils in Chronic Tonsillitis
1 Jan 2016
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Tonsillar infection may stem from bacteria within tonsillar crypts or parenchyma rather than from those on the surface. Pathogens isolated from surface culture may be colonizing the tonsil, but not essentially infecting it. Anaerobes though not often studied, are known to cause chronic tonsillitis. AIM: To study the correlation of anaerobic bacterial isolates in surface and core cultures from...
