  • Title: [Non-spore-forming anaerobes in suppurative-inflammatory diseases of the ORL organs].
    Author: Mironov AIu, Pashkov EP, Mironov AA.
    Journal: Vestn Otorinolaringol; 1989; (2):62-6. PubMed ID: 2728182.
    Abstract:
    Nonspore-forming anaerobic microorganisms were isolated in 83.3% of patients with suppurative-inflammatory diseases (SID) of ENT organs. It was found that so-called sterile inoculations of the pus from the inflammation focus were produced by obligate anaerobes and primarily by bacteroids and gram-positive anaerobic cocci present. The application of anaerobic bacteriological procedures for examining the pathological samples from these patients enlarged significantly the spectrum of isolated microorganisms at the expense of obligate anaerobes. They formed predominant microorganisms of the suppurative-inflammatory focus causing SID due to microbial synergism. It was demonstrated that gas-fluid chromatography can be successfully used to rapidly identify anaerobic infection. Effective drug therapy of SID of ENT organs should address anaerobic microflora and should include agents with antianaerobic action.
