Revolutionizing Odontogenic Abscess Treatment: Unveiling Microbial Spectrum and Antibiotic Resistance through Next-Generation Sequencing

Posted: December 10, 2024
This groundbreaking study utilized next-generation sequencing to analyze the microbiome of odontogenic abscesses, revealing a polymicrobial composition dominated by anaerobic bacteria. The presence of fungi and high rates of antibiotic resistance, particularly against lincosamides and macrolides, were also identified. Understanding the diverse microbial spectrum and resistance patterns is essential for optimizing treatment outcomes and tailoring antibiotic therapy. Next-generation sequencing enables precise pathogen diagnostics and personalized therapeutic strategies for better patient care in dental practice.
