title: [A microbiological evaluation of the use of roxithromycin in oral odontogenic infections].
abstract: Odontogenic infections are the primary infections caused by indigenous oral bacteria, when a factor changes their perfect equilibrium. We studied 30 samples from patients with odontogenic infections that were submitted to therapy with roxithromycin. Our results showed that 79% of aerobic and 71% of anaerobic bacteria, responsible for odontogenic infections, were sensitive to roxithromycin.
