title: [Eikenella corrodens as a pathogen of lateral cervical abscess].
abstract: We show a case of right neck abscess, in which the Eikenella corrodens, acted as pathogen together which other microorganism. We call attention to this germ that has a slow growing in culture and generally intervene in infections in which it is assumed the presence of anaerobic germs (intrathoracic abscess, neck abscess, etc.) and the are habitually treated with clindamycin, antibiotic which Eikenella corrodens is systematically resistant (to this antibiotic).
