Abstract

Objectives: Tonsil and adenoid core cultures were compared and beta-lactamase producing bacteria were determined in patients with chronic adenotonsillitis. Patients and Methods: Thirty-two patients (21 boys, 11 girls; mean age 5 years) with chronic adenotonsillitis underwent elective adenotonsillectomy. The core swaps of tonsil and adenoid tissues were obtained under sterile conditions and were inoculated in %5 sheep blood agar, eosin methylene blue agar, and chocolate agar plates. The frequency of beta-lactamase producing isolates were assessed. Results: Staphylococcus aureus was the most common pathogen both in tonsil and adenoid core cultures. Among pathogenic bacteria isolated from tonsil (n=27) and adeonid (n=22) cultures, the same strains were iso-lated in 20 cultures (75%). The frequencies of beta lactamase producing bacteria were 44% and 41% in tonsil and adenoid core cultures, respectively. S. aureus was associated with beta-lactamase production in 88% and 100% in tonsil and adenoid tissues, respectively. Conclusion: Differences between tonsil surface and core bacterial flora may have implications in the etiopathogenesis and treatment of chronic tonsillitis. The range of species isolated seems to be similar for both chronic tonsillitis and adenoiditis.

Özet

Amaç: Kronik adenotonsillitli hastalarda tonsil ve adenoid merkez kültürleri karşılaştırıldı ve beta laktamaz üreten bakteriler belirlendi. Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Kronik adenotonsillitli 32 hastaya (21 erkek, 11 kız; ort. yaş 5) elektif adenotonsillektomi yapıldı. Tonsil ve adenoid dokusundan steril şartlarda alınmış merkez sürüntü kültürleri, aerobik üreme için %5 oranında koyun kanlı ağar, eosin metilen mavi ağar, çikolatalı ağar besiyerlerine ekildi. Patojen bakterilerde beta laktamaz üretme oranları incelendi. Bulgular: Tonsil ve adenoid merkez kültürlerinde en sık rastlanan patojen Staphylococcus aureus olarak belirlendi. Tonsil merkez kültürlerinde üreyen 27, adenoid merkez kültürlerinde üreyen 22 patojenin 20'sinin (%75) aynı olduğu görüldü. Beta laktamaz üreten bakterilerin oranı, tonsil merkez kültürlerinde %44, adenoid merkez kültürlerinde %41 bulundu. S. aureıvs'un tonsil merkez kültürlerinde %88, adenoid merkez kültürlerinde %100 oranında beta laktamaz ürettiği görüldü. Sonuç: Kronik tonsillitte yüzey ve merkez kültürlerinden elde edilen farklı etkenler, hastalığın etyopatogenezi ve tedavisi yönünden önemli olabilir. Ayrıca kronik tonsillit ve adenoidit etkenleri birbirine benzemektedir.
