It is currently believed that bacterial biofilms play an integral role in the harboring of chronic infection by tonsil and<unk> sue so contributing to recurrent sinusitis and recurrent or persistent ear disease. Also, enlarged adenoids and tonsils may lead to the obstruction of the breathing patterns in children, causing apnea during sleep. The most common bacteria isolated are Haemophilus influenzae, group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus, Staphylococcus aureus, Moraxella catarrhalis, and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis and Streptococcus pneumoniae are the three most resistant pathogens of otitis and rhinosinisitis in children suffering from these diseases.
