The most common pathogens were \u03b2-hemolytic Streptococcus (31.88%), \u03b1-hemolytic Streptococcus (21.74%), Neisseria (14.49%), and Streptococcus milleri (13.04%). Group A \u03b2-hemolytic streptococcus was more common in children and Streptococcus milleri was more common in adults. Alpha-hemolytic streptococcus was resistant to clindamycin (6.67%) and erythromycin (6.67%). Streptococcus milleri was resistant to clindamycin (11.11%) and erythromycin (11.11%). Staphylococcus was resistant to penicillin (37.5%), oxacillin (25%), erythromycin (25%), and clindamycin (12.5%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\u03b2- and \u03b1-hemolytic Streptococci, Neisseria, and Streptococcus milleri are the most common pathogens.
