Microbiota Associated with Infections of the Jaws

Microbiota Associated with Infections of the Jaws

The microbial infections involving the craniofacial skeleton, particularly maxilla and mandible, have direct relationship with the dental biofilm, with predominance of obligate anaerobes. In some patients, these infections may spread to bone marrow or facial soft tissues, producing severe and life-t...
