bacteria infection. Rhinosinusitis therapy success is by knowing the culture of aerobic
bacteria and sensitivity testing so that it will provide clues selection of appropriate
antibiotic treatment.
Objectives: To know the description of the pattern of aerobic bacteria and culture
sensitivity test in patients with chronic maxillary rhinosinusitis following surgery in the
Department of Otolaryngology-Head Neck Surgery Faculty of Medicine, University of

Results: Patients with chronic maxillary rhinosinusitis in most women (60%), age
group 15-24 years (34%), the chief complaint nasal congestion (43%), surgery BSEF
(70%), aerobic bacteria Streptococcus viridan (36.2 %), sensitive antibiotics Amikacin
