Post-operative Infection by Pathogenic Micro-organisms in the Oral Cavity of Patients with Prostatic Carcinoma

Abstract: The aim of this study was to analyse the change in the oral cavity microflora of 14 patients who had undergone a radical prostatectomy for prostatic carcinoma. The detection of microorganisms in the oral cavity was compared before and after the surgical procedure.Post-operative infection, defined as those patients who had increased Candida species counts and/or pathogenic bacteria only at the postoperative examination, was observed in 10 patients. Six patients showed increased Candida species counts at the pos… Show more
