We have also shown, for the first time, that kappa carrageenan has antibacterial and anti-biofilm activity against I S. aureus i clinical isolates from the sinuses. I Staphylococcus aureus i has been reported to be the most common biofilm-forming pathogen in Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) pathogenesis and is associatedwith more severe disease and poor treatment response.1 There has been a recent increased interest in the use of topical antibiotic agents to treat CRS. The current study aimed to investigate both the muco-adhesiveness of kappa carrageenan on explanted sinonasal mucosa and its antibacterial and antibiofilm properties. [Extracted from the article]
