“…A total of 92 isolates were recovered, accounting for 1.5 isolates per specimen. This finding is comparable with other workers [16,17] . Our study has revealed Peptostreptococcus (35.8%), Peptococccus (31.5%), Fusobacterium (17.4%), Prevotella (8.7%), Bacteroides (6.5%), regarding aerobic isolations, the finding are comparable to other workers but the proportion of Peptostreptococcus (35.8%) isolation is much more than that reported by other workers.…”

“…[11] Habib A et al inoculated swab immediately into a tube of thioglycollate broth, the specimens were incubated for 24 hours at 37°C. Then sub cultured onto 2 solid agar plates, one blood agar plate for aerobic incubation for 24 hours and one brain heart infusion agar for anaerobic incubation for 48-72 hours [16] . The use of an anaerobic chamber is currently considered the best technique available for recovery of stringent anaerobes since specimens and cultures can be protected from oxygen at every stage of the procedure.…”

“…Anaerobic bacteria were further cultivated on Anaerobic agar with addition of 50 mg/ml kanamycin to selectively inhibit facultative anaerobes and aerobes while permitting growth of strict anaerobes [11] . Biochemical tests (catalase, oxidase, coagulase, indole test) were performed to identify the species [16] . In our study isolates were identified based on microscopic characteristics, aero tolerance test, and colonial characteristic and biochemical tests comparable with previous studies [17] .…”

“…(63 patients 42%). [16] Among the entire anaerobically cultured bacteria, Metronidazole was the most sensitive drug (100%) followed by Ciprofloxacin, Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (90%), Clindamycin (85%) each and Cefotaxime (75%). The least effective drug was amoxicillin (100%) Kityamuwesi R et al concluded that all Viridans Streptococci isolates were resistant to penicillin G, ampicillin and tetracycline, but retained susceptibility to vancomycin, all Staphylococcus aureus strains were resistant to cotrimoxazole and, but susceptible to vancomycin, and amoxicillin/ clavulanate.…”

The present study was designed to assess the type of anaerobic microorganisms isolated from the Dentoalveolar abscess and their antibiotic sensitive pattern. Materials and Methods: A hospital based descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from January to December 2019; pus was aspirated from Dentoalveolar abscess in 60 patients, the specimen collected, transported anaerobically and was subjected to standard methods for isolation and identification of microorganisms, Antimicrobial susceptibility testing to different agents was carried out using the disc diffusion method, all demographic, clinical, laboratory data and results of cultures were collected for each case. Continuous variables are described as mean ± SD and were compared using unpaired Student's t-test, for independent Categorical variables are described as (%) compared by chi square test or fisher exact test as appropriate. A p value < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: A total of 92 anaerobes were isolated, the prevalence of Gram-positive was high (p<0.001) 33 of them were Peptostreptococcus, 29 Peptococccus, 16 Fusobacterium, 8 Prevotella, 6 were Bacteroides, Metronidazole was the most sensitive drug (100%) followed by Ciprofloxacin, Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (90%), Clindamycin (85%) and Cefotaxime (75%). The Amoxicillin was 100% resistant. Conclusions: Anaerobic bacteria are prevalent in Dentoalveolar abscess, they are subjected throughout life to a continuous challenge by antimicrobial agents used in clinical therapy, and high prevalence of bacterial resistance to ampicillin suggests the need for regular antibiotic susceptibility tests and rational use of antibiotics in the management of these infections.

Background: Orofacial space infections are commonly odontogenic in origin and the anatomical locations along with mode of spread to critical areas (e.g., orbit, brain, mediastinum) can result in morbidly and mortality if not diagnosed and treated well in time. This study was aimed to analyzing the incidence and pattern of oro-facial infections. Methods: This Descriptive case series was carried out at Oral Surgery unit (Ayub Medical College) Abbottabad from January 2016 - May 2017. The sample was collected using purposive, consecutive non-probability sampling. The demographic data, infection site and clinical features were recorded. The data was analyzed by using SPSS version 21. All the descriptive variables were analyzed for percentages & frequencies. Results: Thirty-six patients were included in the study. The male (23) to female (13) ratio was (1.7:1). Right Submandibular space was most common site. In one case each, there was involvement of retropharyngeal and retromandibular space. Majority of the patients presented with swelling (88.89%). Diabetes mellitus was the most commonly found systemic disorder in the patients affecting aggressiveness of infection. Conclusion: The most common source of odontogenic facial space infections is mandibular molars resulting spread to submandibular space. Diabetes Mellitus was the most common systemic disorder affecting host immunity. The proximity of oro-facial spaces with the critical areas makes it crucial for clinicians to identify the condition promptly and provide pertinent treatment in order to avoid the fatal complications as the rate of spread of facial space infection is very rapid.
