PROBLEM BIOFILM FORMATION UNDER TONSILLITIS
Most microorganisms in nature including the human body exists in the form of biofilms. Biofilms are extremely negative impact on the course of infection, because of the tendency to chronic and recurrent course of infection, the low efficiency of antibiotic therapy. One of the most common infectious diseases of the upper respiratory tract is tonsillitis. The microorganisms - agents of tonsillitis also form biofilms on the surface of the epithelium of the tonsils. Therefore, the use of antibiotics in the treatment of tonsillitis, especially its chronic form is often ineffective. In this review, we analyzed data of modern literature devoted to the peculiarities of the formation of biofilm on the tonsils during tonsillitis disease. In the article, we also have resulted brief information concerning the ability of agents of tonsillitis to form biofilms in vitro on abiotic surfaces.
