Popis:	Aspirates from 50 chronically inflamed maxillary sinuses were processed for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Bacterial growth was present in 48 (96%) specimens. There were 110 bacterial isolates (2.2/specimen). Forty of the isolates were aerobic or facultative organisms (0.8/ specimen). The predominant aerobic or facultative organisms were Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase-negative staphylococcus (CNS), S. pneumoniae, E. coli, H. influenzae and P. aeruginosa. Seventy anaerobes were isolated (1.4/specimen), Prevotella spp, Peptostreptococcus spp., Porphyromonas spp. and bacteroides spp. being predominant. These findings illustrate the presence of polymicrobial aerobic-anaerobic flora in patients with chronic maxillary sinusitis.
