Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is characterized by inflammation of the paranasal sinus mucosa persisting for more than 12 weeks. This condition is associated with reduced quality-of-life and causes a high direct and indirect economic burden. Several pathogenic factors have been attributed to CRS, including bacterial and fungal biofilms on the sinonasal mucosa. Biofilms are well-established contributors to recalcitrance to treatment in other chronic inflammatory mucosal conditions such as cystic fibrosis and otitis media.
AREAS COVERED: This review will present an overview of the role of biofilms in CRS, including the evidence for biofilms being present on the sinonasal mucosa and their implications for disease severity. Furthermore, the interactions between biofilms and host-mediated immune factors are explored.
EXPERT OPINION: The eradication of biofilms has been a focus of research shortly after their recognition as a cause of disease. The currently available methodologies for identifying biofilms on mucosal surfaces are not sufficiently well-developed to be used in a clinical setting. A more accurate, cheaper, faster approach for biofilm detection is necessary, and molecular techniques may provide the possibility for this.
