Features of the laryngeal mucosa microbiota in patients with chronic hyperplastic laryngitis (literature review)

The literature review analyzed the data concerning studies of the microbiome of the laryngeal mucosa in patients with chronic hyperplastic laryngitis. It remains a matter of discussion whether the inflammatory process in the larynx is primary with subsequent dysbiosis and excessive growth of pathogenic microorganisms, or whether changes in the structure of the normal microbial landscape become an inducer of the disease. The article reflects the results of basic research on the role of bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens detected on the mucous membrane of the larynx in patients with chronic hyperplastic laryngitis, conducted by Russian and foreign scientists using various technological approaches.
