Ludwig's angina (LA) is a rapidly progressive cellulitis-causing airway obstruction that can spread through fascial planes to the floor of the mouth and into the mediastinum. Early recognition and treatment are essential for preventing potentially fatal complications. Diagnosis is based on clinical suspicion and confirmed through CT and ultrasound (US).

Article Synopsis
- * A case study highlighted a 70-year-old woman treated for Ludwig angina using a superficial cervical plexus block, which allowed for successful surgery and stable postoperative recovery without major complications.
- * Proper airway management is crucial in treating Ludwig angina, as many patients require advanced care measures; however, there is still a lack of consensus on the best practices among healthcare providers.

Background And Objective: Staphylococcus aureus is the leading cause of skin and soft tissue infections such as abscesses, furuncles, and cellulitis. Biofilm forming strains of have higher incidence of antimicrobial resistance to at least three or more antibiotics and are considered as multidrug resistant. Since biofilm-producing strains have higher rates of multidrug and methicillin resistance compared to non-biofilm-producing strains, the need for alternative therapeutic option is important.

Mouth floor cellulitis is a type of diffuse cellulitis involving the submandibular, submental, and sublingual spaces. This condition may cause asphyxia due to elevation and posterior deviation of the tissues of the floor of the mouth. The severity of submandibular gland infection often escalates in the presence of underlying comorbidities.

Optogenetics combines optics and genetic engineering to control specific gene expression and biological functions and has the advantages of precise spatiotemporal control, noninvasiveness, and high efficiency. Genetically modified photosensory sensors are engineered into proteins to modulate conformational changes with light stimulation. Therefore, optogenetic techniques can provide new insights into oral biological processes at different levels, ranging from the subcellular and cellular levels to neural circuits and behavioral models.
