ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: Hand infections secondary to human bites often leave serious consequences on the functioning of the hand. Such infections are caused by different bacteria. Most bacteriological studies have been made to people of Anglo-Saxon origin or descent, and based on these findings; provide treatment to patients of different origins which may not always be as effective. METHODS: Descriptive, internal stratified 17 patients were isolated samples of oral cavity and dental plaque bacterial species to identify and define the possible treatment according to the species identified. RESULTS: Microorganisms were isolated Gram (+) and Gram (-) belonging to the normal flora of the oral cavity and dental plaque in all the cases studied, presenting a variable number of microorganisms according to age but not by sex. The group of Gram-positive bacteria isolated showed sensitivity to: erythromycin, chloramphenicol and ciprofloxacin. In the group of Gram negative: kanamycin, amoxicillin + clavulanic acid, ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin, E. Corrodens sensitive to the group of quinolones as ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin as well as ceftriaxone and cefoperazone sulbactam. CONCLUSIONS: The bacterial species that are commonly found in normal flora of the oral cavity and dental plaque may be potential pathogens in a hand injury where to find the appropriate conditions for their development.

Se presenta una revisión de la literatura así como de la experiencia en el Hospital Central Dr. Ignacio Morones Prieto en el tratamiento de las mordeduras por humanos y por animales. El tratamiento temprano a base de la revisión quirúrgica y cierre primario, así como la antiobioticoterapia adecuada, dan el éxito buscado

Las mordeduras humanas y de animal constituyen un imprtante problema de salud y motivan un gran número de consultas, en especial en los Servicios de Urgencia, en donde se les proporciona la primera atención. Aunque lamayoría de los pacientes presenta heridas menores, por lo menos un 10 porciento necesita intervención médica posterior, ya que se complican de infección, como celulitis, artritis, osteomielitis y en ocaciones septicemia, que puede ser fatal
