Sažetak

A group of 63 patients with odontogenic abscesses, not previously
treated with either medication or surgery, was studied. Samples for mi­crobiology were taken from abscesses, in the amount of 0.5—1 ccm of the suppurative content, and cultured in appropriate media for aerobes, respectively, so that almost all strains of both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria present in the study samples were kept alive.
Microbiological examinations revealed the mixed aerobic-anaerobic
cultures to predominate in the samples uner study. Among aerobic bac­terial strains, gram-positive cocci, i. e. alpha-hemolytic streptococci, were found to prevail, whereas among anaerobes gram-negative bacilli (Bacte- riodes melaninogenicus and Fusobacterium nucleatum) and gram-positive cocci of anaerobic type (Peptostreptococcus anaerobius and Peptococcus prevotii) were most frequently detected. Staphylococci were isolated in traces only.
