title: [Changes in the composition and properties of the microflora in abscesses and phlegmons of the maxillofacial area].
abstract: The authors have analyzed wound microflora composition and characteristics in 422 patients with maxillofacial phlegmons and abscesses, treated over a period of 25 years (1963-1988). They have examined the microbiologic structure in these conditions in various years. Their findings evidence a gradual reduction of the incidence of Staphylococcus aureus and S. epidermidis and a significant elevation of the detection rate of gamma-hemolytic streptococcus (63.9 percent).
