MICROORGANISMS IN LOWER JAW FRACTURES IN SURVEYED PATIENTS

Abstract

According to WHO, up to 300 thousand people of working age die from injuries
every year, 7-8 million become disabled. Issues of reliable anti-infective protection are
of paramount importance in extreme medicine. This is due to the fact that most of the
injured patients that the doctor encounters are at high risk for the development of life-
threatening infectious complications. Antibacterial drugs have long been one of the
most prescribed critical conditions in medicine. Up to 90% of injured patients receive
antibiotics at some stage of treatment. Thus, antibacterial chemoprophylaxis and
antibacterial chemotherapy, not only today, but also in the foreseeable future, will
retain undoubted leadership as first-line methods in the fight against infection.
