Comment on New antibiotic kills off persistent infectionsparent

Comments

Thanks for the feedback. As relates to sinuses, is the theory that the infection is a product of food-induced inflammatory conditions that don't allow for proper drainage?

Because, some of my experience would suggest that it may be exacerbated by inflammation somewhat, but the primary cause is a persistent reservoir of bacteria. This could be a biofilm or otherwise dormant bacteria as described in the article. Actually, the latter is much more plausible as and, in all the time I have been dealing with this, no physician has ever mentioned that bacteria even have such a dormant state.
