The Oral Cavity-Another Reservoir of Antimicrobial-Resistant ?

is one of the most common potentially pathogenic bacteria that may asymptomatically colonize many sites of healthy carriers. Non-nasal carriage, especially in the oral cavity, and its role in transmitting antimicrobial-resistant strains in the healthcare community, is poorly understood. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of in both oral and nasal cavities among preclinical dentistry students.
