摘要

Some unusual microorganisms have been isolated from samples? of? patients? with? oral? cavity? periodontal? disease.? The? objective? of? this? research? was? to? determine? the? frequency of? Staphylococcus? spp.? in? periodontal? pockets? based? on? the? epidemiological? characteristics?? of patients attending a dental center? in? the? municipality? of? San? Diego,? Carabobo? state.? Samples from periodontal pockets? of? 50? patients? attending? the? dental? center? were studied.? The isolated strains were identified by biochemical tests and finally the profile of antimicrobial susceptibility was determined. It was found that the frequency of patients with Staphylococcus spp. was 32%, 16 patients. Staphylococcus Coagulase Negative (SCN) was isolated in 10 patients, followed by S. aureus in 6. Regarding to antimicrobial susceptibility profile, it was determined that of the 6 isolated strains of Staphylococcus aureus , 2 proved to be Methicillin-resistant. The presence of Staphylococcus spp. in periodontal pockets is low frequency; however in this study, the presence of said microorganism was determined in 32% of the patients studied, which means that these patients are more colonized than what is believed.
