XXXX following tooth extraction and removal of osteosynthesis plates.

@entity1 @entity114 @entity56 @entity2259 @entity884
The occurrence of @entity2259 was investigated in 39 @entity1 undergoing tooth extraction (Group 1), surgical removal of impacted third molars (Group 2), or removal of osteosynthesis plates (Group 3). None of the 39 @entity1 had @entity2259 before anesthesia or after nasal intubation for general anesthesia. In two of 23 @entity1 bacteria could be isolated after local anesthesia. Microorganisms were isolated in 14 of 19 @entity1 (74%) with tooth extraction. In nine, a mixture of facultative anaerobic ("aerobic") and strict anaerobic bacteria were identified; in five, anaerobes were isolated exclusively. Two to 130 bacteria were cultured per 10 ml venous blood. @entity884 causing alpha-hemolytic streptococci were found in seven cases (50%). At least one of the predominating anaerobes (Bacteroides, Fusobacteria, or Peptostreptococci) were found in all positive cases. @entity2259 was found in 40% of the Group 2 @entity1 . There was no @entity2259 in the Group 3 @entity1 . The pathogenic relevance of anaerobic @entity2259 is discussed and as a consequence it is suggested that the risk of developing organ abscesses as well as the problem of @entity884 following dental @entity2259 has to be taken into consideration. On the basis of sensitivity testing, erythromycin does not appear to be the drug of choice in @entity114 - @entity56 @entity1 .
