Fluoroquinolone-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Chronic Rhinosinusitis
Journal for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 10/01/09

Guss J et al. – P. aeruginosa is cultured primarily in patients with previous sinus surgery. Nearly 20% of isolates are resistant to fluoroquinolones. Resistance to levofloxacin is more common than resistance to ciprofloxacin. This study supports the use of culture–directed therapy in the management of the postfunctional endoscopic sinus surgery patient and the avoidance of empiric use of fluoroquinolones.
