Area of Science:

Oral medicine
Infectious diseases
Microbiology

Background:

Oral infections from trauma or dental procedures are often underestimated.
Standard antibiotic therapy is frequently effective for most oral infections.
Increasingly, common treatments are failing for certain oral infections.

Observation:

Some oral infections are proving recalcitrant to conventional antibiotic therapy.
Ubiquitous organisms like Eikenella corrodens are increasingly implicated in these difficult-to-treat cases.

Findings:

The study presents cases caused by Eikenella corrodens.
It reviews the microbiology of Eikenella corrodens.

Implications:

Dental practitioners need to be aware of Eikenella corrodens as a cause of treatment-resistant oral infections.
