Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the role of different microorganisms in the inflammation linked to chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) by comparing samples from CRSwNP patients and healthy individuals.
  • It involved 28 participants, where DNA from swabs taken from their nasal passages was sequenced to analyze the bacterial and fungal communities present.
  • Findings revealed that CRSwNP patients had less Corynebacterium but greater variability in their nasal microbiome compared to healthy controls, with Malassezia being the most common fungus found in all groups.
