[Antibiotic sensitivity of germs isolated from cellulitis of dental origin in Senegal (results of a survey of 49 cases)]. / Sensibilité aux antibiotiques des germes isolés dans les cellulites d'origine dentaire au Sénégal (résultats d'une enquête sur 49 cas).

ABSTRACT

Irregular results sometimes found during antibiotic treatment of perimaxillar cellulitis, conducted the authors to study bacteriology of these infections from dental origin. This study confirmed the aero and anerobic polymicrobism of these cellulitis. Antibiograms realised in 49 cases showed occurrence of streptococcal and anaerobic germs resistance to antibiotics usually prescribed. A nearly constant success of other antibiotics allowed the authors to define a first intention antibiotherapy for the treatment of these infections.
