  • Title: The oral cavity as a source of potential pathogens in focal infection.
    Author: Rogers AH.
    Journal: Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol; 1976 Aug; 42(2):245-8. PubMed ID: 1066607.
    Abstract:
    The various microbial species present in different areas of the oral cavity are described. A few streptococcal species, whose only known habitat is the mouth, have been associated with subacute bacterial endocarditis, and it would therefore seem that the oral cavity can serve as a reservoir for at least one type of focal infection. However, the role of oral bacteria in other types of focal infection is obscure.
