The patient's own staphylococcal strains of nasal origin as potential causative agents of inflammatory processes in the maxillofacial area

Buccal mucosa was microbiologically examined in 1169 stomatologic patients, nasal mucosa (anterior segments) in 1035, and foci of involvement in 494 patients. High staphylococcal contamination of the nasal mucosa of stomatologic patients was found to be a stable parameter not depending on patients&#...

Summary:Buccal mucosa was microbiologically examined in 1169 stomatologic patients, nasal mucosa (anterior segments) in 1035, and foci of involvement in 494 patients. High staphylococcal contamination of the nasal mucosa of stomatologic patients was found to be a stable parameter not depending on patients' age, sex, disease entity, or season. The intensity of oral contamination depends on a number of factors, such as age, sex, disease entity, and season, as well as the degree of nasal cavity contamination with staphylococci. These factors' effects appear to be realized via salivary antibacterial properties. Phage typing results and antibioticograms of the defected staphylococci indicate that the majority of these microorganisms contaminating the oral cavity originate from the nasal cavity. A conclusion is made about advisability of nasal cavity treatment with antistaphylococcal agents to prevent pyoinflammatory complications after surgical interventions, as well as in patients with maxillofacial injuries.
