Abstract
Chemotherapeutic management of the microbial milieu that impacts patients undergoing surgery is profoundly important in surgery involving the head and neck region. This region is a repository for a diverse population of microbes, which stand ready to invade the underlying structures once the barriers have been breached. This article evaluates human resistance to these microorganisms and reviews conditions that may increase susceptibility in patients undergoing surgery.Entities:
