Background:

The role of microbiota in sinonasal inflam- mation can be further understood by targeted sampling of healthy and diseased subjects. We compared the micro- biota of the middle meatus (MM) and inferior meatus (IM) in healthy, allergic rhinitis (AR), and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) subjects to characterize intrasubject, intersubject, and intergroup differences.
