    Abstract Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a complex, heterogenous condition that is likely associated with infectious and inflammatory causative factors. Renewed interest in the role that microbes play in this condition has stemmed from advancements in microbe identification and parallel research implicating the microbiome as having a role in other chronic inflammatory conditions. This clinical commentary provides a review of the current literature relevant to chronic rhinosinusitis. Particular focus is placed on factors specific to investigation of the sinonasal microbiome, evidence for the role of dysbiosis in the disease state, and influences that may affect the microbiome. Possible mechanisms of disease and therapeutic implications through microbial manipulation are also reviewed, as are deficiencies and limitations of the current body of research.

    Abstract Objectives: Bacterial biofilms on the sinonasal mucosa, especially biofilms of Staphylococcus aureus, are associated with greater severity and recalcitrance of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). There are few, if any, antibiofilm agents suitable for sinonasal application available for the management of this problem. Nasodine® Nasal Spray (Nasodine) is a 0.5% povidone-iodine-based formulation that has been developed for sinonasal application. We investigated the antibiofilm efficacy of Nasodine to determine whether it may be a candidate for the treatment of biofilm-associated CRS.
    Methods: Biofilms of S. aureus ATCC 6538 were grown in vitro using the Centers for Disease Control biofilm reactor. Intact biofilms were treated by immersion in 0.9% saline (control), half concentration Nasodine, or full concentration Nasodine for between 5 min and 6 h. Further biofilm cells were dispersed into suspension then treated for between 30 s and 5 min. Surviving bacteria were then enumerated by culture and counting colonies, and the log
    Results: Nasodine demonstrated time and concentration-dependent bacterial killing against intact biofilm. Statistically significant reductions in viable bacteria from intact biofilms were seen with exposures as brief as 5 min. Nasodine consistently eradicated dispersed biofilm within 1 min.
    Conclusion: Nasodine is highly active against biofilms of S. aureus ATCC 6538 in vitro. Biofilm killing is impeded by the presence of the intact biofilm structure.
    Lay summary: In chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), bacterial communities called biofilms are associated with more severe inflammation. An iodine-based nasal spray called Nasodine almost completely eradicates bacterial biofilms after 6 h of exposure. Nasodine may be useful for treating CRS. Laryngoscope, 133:2490-2495, 2023.

    Abstract Prosthetics increase the risk of deep surgical site infections in procedures intended to restore function. In orthopaedics, prosthetic joint infections can lead to repetitive surgeries, amputation, or worse. Biofilm formation both in vitro and in vivo involves stages of attachment, accumulation, and maturation. The level of maturation affects susceptibility to antibiotics, the immune system, and the success of surgical interventions. A review of the literature indicates that orthopedic publications are less likely to mention biofilm. We have reviewed animal models of infection to assess in vivo models of prosthetic infection. Although most prosthetic infections seem to originate from local skin microbiota, clinically representative biofilm inocula are unusual. Biofilm-related end points are more widely adopted, but studies rarely include both quantification of adherent microbial burden and imaging of the in vivo biofilm. Failure to differentiate between planktonic and biofilm infections can skew research away from needed chronic disease models. In this review, we address prosthetic joint infections as an important model for chronic biofilm infection research, identify critical requirements for in vivo models of chronic infection, and propose that resistance to the terminology of biofilm research exists within both research and regulation, which could limit progress toward important orthopaedic targets.

    Abstract Purpose: Oral mucositis (OM) remains a significant complication developed by many patients undergoing radiotherapy (RT) to the head and neck region. Emerging data suggest oral microbes may contribute to the onset and severity of this acute side effect.
    Methods: In this study, saliva and oral swabs from head and neck cancer patients undergoing RT were collected. We employed molecular microbiological techniques to study the bacterial communities present in saliva, and both the bacterial and fungal communities present on the buccal mucosa and lateral tongue. Changes in microbiota composition with increasing radiation dose and the presence of mucositis were examined.
    Results: The data suggest that the salivary microbiota remain stable during RT and are consistently dominated by Streptococcus, Prevotella, Fusobacterium and Granulicatella. Obligate and facultative anaerobic Gram-negative bacilli (GNB) Bacteroidales G2, Capnocytophaga, Eikenella, Mycoplasma and Sneathia, as well as anaerobic GNB in the periopathogenic genera Porphyromonas and Tannerella, were all positively correlated with ≥ grade 2 OM. Significant increases in the relative abundances of Bacteroidales G2, Fusobacterium and Sneathia were identified in buccal mucosa swabs at sites of ≥ grade 2 OM (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the abundance of several GNB (Fusobacterium, Haemophilus, Tannerella, Porphyromonas and Eikenella) on the buccal mucosa may influence patient susceptibility to developing OM. Candida was widely detected in buccal mucosa swabs, regardless of mucositis status.
    Conclusions: Our findings support previously hypothesized associations between oral health and the pathogenesis of OM, highlighting the importance of oral health interventions for head and neck cancer patients.

    Abstract Background: Despite the widespread prescription of antibiotics for the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), their efficacy remains uncertain. Limited penetration of systemic antibiotics into the sinonasal mucosa has been reported previously by this group. This study aimed to investigate the short-term effects of antibiotics on the sinus and gut microbiota as well as any relationships these had with drug distribution.
    Methods: Thirty subjects undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery for CRS were randomized to one of three groups: (1) doxycycline (100 mg daily for 7 days); (2) roxithromycin (300 mg daily for 7 days); and (3) control (no antibiotics given). Sinonasal and stool samples collected before and after treatment were analyzed using 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene-targeted amplicon sequencing and Droplet Digital polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for bacterial community composition and the quantification of bacterial DNA, respectively.
    Results: There were no significant major bacterial community shifts or changes to bacterial diversity and load following the treatment period in all patient groups. Non-significant trend reductions were observed in gut microbial diversity with antibiotics. For the roxithromycin group, sinonasal bacterial diversity was negatively correlated with serum drug levels and reduced overall compared to controls (p < 0.05). The relative abundance of Staphylococcus ASV129 in sinonasal samples reduced with increasing mucus doxycycline levels (p = 0.01).
    Conclusion: Antibiotic prescription for CRS should be further investigated because of preliminary evidence of poor sinonasal drug penetration, unproven efficacy, and the potential impact of dysbiosis in the sinuses and off-target sites. Further studies should consider distinguishing the presence of DNA from viable and nonviable bacteria.

    Abstract The skin glands and cloacal morphology of the Korean crevice salamander, Karsenia koreana, were similar to those of other plethodontids. The skin contained mucous, granular, and modified granular glands in varying frequencies and sizes. Males had sexually dimorphic glands in the skin of the chin (mental glands) and the dorsal tail base (caudal courtship glands). On the ventral surface of the tail base, modified granular glands were sexually dimorphic in size, with male glands larger than those in females. The cloacal glands in males, as in other plethodontids, consisted of four eosinophilic gland clusters (dorsal pelvic glands, lateral pelvic glands, caudal pelvic glands, and vent glands) and three basophilic glands (anterior ventral glands, posterior ventral glands, and Kingsbury's glands). In females, the only cloacal gland was the spermatheca, which, as in other plethodontids, was a compound tubulo-alveolar gland in the roof of the cloaca.
