- The study is the first of its kind in Japan, surveying antimicrobial susceptibility in 246 samples from patients with various odontogenic infections, revealing high positivity rates for bacterial growth across four infection groups.
- Streptococcus spp. and anaerobic bacteria were the main isolates, with notable resistance in Prevotella spp. to certain antibiotics due to β-lactamase production, though no resistance was found against carbapenems or metronidazole.
- Sensitivity testing indicated that while penicillins and cephems were generally effective, Prevotella spp. required combination therapy involving β-lactamase inhibitors for better treatment outcomes.
A 61-year-old, HIV-negative, immunocompetent woman was admitted to our hospital for significant weight loss, painful swelling of her right cheek, and rapid growth of a tumor in the right hard palate.
