The efficacy of local use of antiseptic solutions (chlorhexidine bigluconate, chlorfillipt and furaciline) on clinical presentation and microflora of purulent wounds was studied in 236 patients with maxillofacial abscesses and phlegmons. The wound microflora was represented by a wide spectrum of opportunistic agents. A pronounced therapeutic effect was achieved in patients with staphylococcal infection. Marked resistance to the drugs was noted in alpha-hemolytic streptococcus.

The authors have analyzed wound microflora composition and characteristics in 422 patients with maxillofacial phlegmons and abscesses, treated over a period of 25 years (1963-1988).

Their findings evidence a gradual reduction of the incidence of Staphylococcus aureus and S. epidermidis and a significant elevation of the detection rate of gamma-hemolytic streptococcus (63.9 percent).
