The possible presence of biofilms was examined in mucosal specimens of 15 patients, undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery or a modified Caldwell-Luc approach for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Biofilms were found in 7 of the 15 patients, positive cultures being obtained in most samples, which supports the role of biofilms as an important factor in the pathogenesis of CRS.
在 15 名接受功能性内镜鼻窦手术或改良 Caldwell-Luc 手术治疗慢性鼻-鼻窦炎（CRS）的患者的黏膜标本中，检查了生物膜的可能存在情况。在 15 名患者中的 7 名患者中发现了生物膜，大多数样本中获得了阳性培养物，这支持生物膜作为 CRS 发病机制中的一个重要因素的作用。
