Sixteen of 30 patients suffered from a severe life-threatening abscess of the head and neck, whereas 14\/30 patients presented with a localized submucous abscess. Anaerobic bacteria were identified and susceptibility testing was performed using E test strips for penicillin, amoxicillin + clavulanic acid, imipenem + cilastatin, clindamycin and metronidazole. &lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt; The mean duration until removal of all drains was 14.1 and 3.5 days, respectively. Anaerobic bacteria were found in all episodes of local abscesses, whereas 19% of the severe episodes were culture negative, and in 13%, only aerobes were identified. A total of 60 anaerobes were isolated from 27 patients (2.2 isolates\/positive sample). The dominating species were &lt;i&gt;Prevotella &lt;\/i&gt;sp. (n = 17), &lt;i&gt;Peptostreptococcus &lt;\/i&gt;sp. (n = 15) and &lt;i&gt;Propionibacterium &lt;\/i&gt;sp. (n = 5). Eighty-seven percent of the isolates were susceptible to penicillin. Ninety-seven percent of the anaerobes were susceptible to amoxicillin + clavulanic acid, imipenem + cilastatin, and clindamycin. Eighty-three percent were susceptible to metronidazol. There was a tendency for a higher rate of episodes with penicillin-resistant bacteria in the patients with severe abscesses (14 vs. 31%). No difference in susceptibility regarding amoxicillin + clavulanic acid and clindamycin (7%) was observed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000110864","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,11,14]],"date-time":"2007-11-14T10:29:10Z","timestamp":1195036150000},"page":"220-224","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":43,"title":["Severe versus Local Odontogenic Bacterial Infections: Comparison of Microbial Isolates"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"B.","family":"Al-Nawas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Maeurer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,11,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0278-2391%2810%2980162-4"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0901-5027%2805%2980150-X"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1600-9657.1999.tb00763.x"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0901-5027%2805%2980707-6"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0278-2391%2897%2990707-2"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093%2Fjac%2F35.6.785"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2FPL00010788"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs100060050102"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1600-0714.1993.tb01051.x"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2F0278-2391%2888%2990452-1"}],"container-title":["European Surgical Research"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/110864","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/110864","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T02:10:04Z","timestamp":1745460604000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000110864"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2007,11,12]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,2,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000110864","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0014-312X","1421-9921"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0014-312X","type":"print"},{"value":"1421-9921","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2007,11,12]]}}}
