## Introduction: The microbial flora of infections of the orofacial region of odontogenic origin is typically polymicrobial. shortly after mass production of the first antibiotics, antibiotic resistant microorganisms were observed. ## Methods: A 28-months retrospective study evaluated hospital records of 107 patients that were treated for head and neck infections of odontogenic origin. all patients underwent surgical incision and drainage. ## Results: There were 65 male (61%) and 42 female (39%) patients ranging in age from 5 to 91 years, with a mean age of 48 years (sd = 21). 52 patients underwent outpatient management and 55 patients inpatient management. a total of 92 bacterial strains were isolated from 107 patients, accounting for 0.86 isolates per patient. overall 46 bacterial strains were isolated from patients that underwent outpatient and 34 bacterial strains that underwent inpatient treatment. 32.6% of the strains, isolated from outpatient treated individuals showed resistances against one or more of the tested antibiotics. isolated strains of inpatient treated individuals showed resistances in 52.9%. ## Discussion: According to this study's data, penicillin continues to
