Infection of keratocystic odontogenic tumour by pseudomonas aeruginosa.

چکیده
The oral cavity may represent a reservoir of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, especially in patients with periodontitis; this makes treatment more difficult and, in the case of opportunistic infections, may worsen the conditions of debilitated patients, such as the elderly and immunossupressed. The present investigation aims at using a clinical case to discuss the possibility of a secondary infection of a keratocystic odontogenic tumor by P. aeruginosa multiresistant to antimicrobial agents.
