Sažetak

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is debilitating condition comprising inflammation
of the mucosa of the nasal and paranasal sinuses, requiring conservative and often surgical treatment.
Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is a CRS treatment during which a microbiological
diagnostic procedure may be conducted. Preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis is administrated
before FESS. When indicated, the administered empiric antibiotic therapy must cover most common
causing microbial agents. The aims of this study were to identify microbial pathogens isolated from
sinonasal cavities in patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery, to determine bacterial antibiotic
susceptibility patterns and compare them with guidelines for treatment and perioperative prophylactic
use of antimicrobial agents. A retrospective cohort study on 456 samples collected between 2016 and
2019 was conducted at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery and the
Department of Microbiology, Parasitology and Hospital Infections in the Clinical University Centre
Sestre milordnice, Zagreb. The most common isolated pathogens were Peptostreptococcus spp., Propionibacterium
spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas spp., Fusobacterium spp. and Haemophilus
influenzae. According to antibiotic susceptibility patterns, empiric antibiotic treatment with amoxicillin-
clavulanic acid was appropriate. Due to high rates of antibiotic resistance of anaerobic bacterial
isolates to metronidazole, it cannot be recommended in empirical antibiotic treatment or preoperative
surgical antibiotic prophylaxis.
