Role of Oral Veillonella Species in Predicting Surgical Site Infections After Maxillofacial Trauma: A Prospective Observational Study
There is a change in the colony count of <i>Veillonella</i> species and its relation to their commensals when intervened at different time intervals. Our study indicates that the estimation of <i>Veillonella</i> species and the colony count could aid in determining the possibility of a surgical site infection. This study also stresses on the appropriate reporting of maxillofacial trauma in cases of a poly-trauma for appropriate management.
