Abstract
The species composition of aerobic and anaerobic microflora of paratonsillar abscesses was investigated in 20 patients. It was found that obligate nonspore-forming anaerobic bacteria predominated in the pus of the abscess cavity. Anaerobic infection was diagnosed rapidly by gas-liquid chromatography. Anaerobic bacteria were shown to be highly sensitive to clindamycin and metronidazol.
