Abstract
<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">Cervico facial cellulitis is mainly complications of oral infections. A better knowledge of the main germs involved and their susceptibility to antibiotics is necessary for their treatment. </span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">Three-year prospective study, carried out in the odontostomatology department of the CHU-Campus of Lome, fifty-five patients were included. The pus was taken by suction in a sterile single-use syringe and then directly seeded on agar. The incubation was carried out for 48 h. </span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> The sample consisted of 28 men and 27 women. Fifty-four point fifty percent of patients were between 14 and 40 years of age. Forty-four cultures (80%) were positive. The main germs isolated were <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em>, <em>Streptococci</em>, <em>Escherichia coli</em>, and <em>Klebsiella pneumoniae</em>. The study showed good susceptibility of staphylococcus to quinolones, from <em>streptococcus </em>to<em> </em>aminoglycosides, quinolones, and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid,<em> </em>and <em>Enterobacteria </em>to cephalosporins, aminoglycosides and quinolones. <span lang="EN-IN">In the same way, the total resistance of all these germs to tetracyclines was proved. </span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">The resistance of <em>Staphylococci</em> and <em>Streptococcus</em> to betalactamins is a real public health problem.</span></p>
