| Abstract: | The aim of this study was to assess the occurrence of microorganisms in 39 intraoral abscesses. The samples were place in transport medium. The materials were inoculated on adequate enrichment and selective media and cultivated under anaerobic and aerobic conditions. The microorganisms were found in all samples (100%), Anaerobic bacteria most frequently were recovered. The predominant anaerobes were from genus Prevotella, Bacteroides, Fusobacterium and Peptostreptococcus. Among aerobic bacteria, the most frequent were gram-positive cocci. The microaerophilic bacteria and fungi most rarely were isolated from pus samples. |
