This article reviews the microbiology of CRS, as well as investigating the role of bacterial infections in its etiology. Also discusses the potential role of coagulase-negative Staphylococcus as well as anaerobes.

Excellent article that attempts to correlate Staphylococcus aureus nasal colonization with the severity of CRS based on radiologic findings as well as patient symptoms.

This is the only recent article examining the microbiology of patients after undergoing ESS. This article provides an interesting look at bacterial colonization compared with de-novo infection in persistent CRS despite ESS.

Compares the microbiology of CRS patients undergoing initial ESS compared with revision ESS. This study also looked at changes in the antimicrobial sensitivities, which could potentially explain cases of refractory CRS.

Discusses the role of sinus osteitis in these patients who respond to such therapy.
