Abstract：
BACKGROUND: The submandibular space is part of the deep neck fascial spaces. Infection within these spaces can cause significant mortality and morbidity.
METHODS: The study is a review of the microbiology of the submandibular space infections seen at the tertiary academic referral hospitals, University of the Witwatersrand. The period of the study is from January 1, 2006, to December 31, 2006. Ninety-three patients were reviewed of which 52 had aspirates taken. The predominant microorganisms were the gram-positive anaerobic cocci. A literature search for this category of infection was also conducted.
CONCLUSIONS: The most commonly isolated microorganisms were the gram-positive cocci.

摘要：
背景：颌下间隙是颈深筋膜间隙的一部分。这些空间内的感染可导致显著的死亡率和发病率。
方法：该研究是对三级学术转诊医院所见的颌下间隙感染的微生物学的回顾，威特沃特斯兰德大学。研究期间为2006年1月1日至2006年12月31日。对93例患者进行了审查，其中52例服用了抽吸物。主要微生物为革兰氏阳性厌氧球菌。还对这类感染进行了文献检索。
结论：最常见的微生物是革兰氏阳性球菌。
