Abstract
Isolates from oral suppurative inflammation treated at our department during a period of 2 years and 5 months, between October 1983 and February 1986, were studied, and the drug sensitivity of these isolates was determined. The results we obtained are described below.
1) Specimen were collected from 72 cases, and bacteria were detected in 61 of them (84.7%) .
2) Of the 61 cases, 26, 12, 22 and 1 were found to have single aerobic infection, single anaerobic infection, and mixed aerobic and anaerobic infection and infection with Candida and anaerobes, respectively.
3) The total number of detected bacteria was 124 strains, including 68 aerobes (54.8%), 55 anaerobes (44.4%) and one Candida strain (0.8%) .
4) The four strains showed MIC values of over 100 μg/ml for either one or more of Cefmetazole, Cefazolin, Piperacillin and Ticarcillin ; all of the 4 strains were isolated from those with underlying diseases.
