Abstract

Currently, there are numerous reports in the world and in Russia about a serious complication of the new coronavirus infection – extensive damage to the soft tissue and bone structures of the middle zone of the face. This complication is polyethological in nature and is caused by immunosuppression due to the severe course of COVID-19, high doses of glucocorticosteroids, hyperglycemia, against which an opportunistic infectious necrotic process develops a second time caused by various microorganisms, including fungi of the genus Mucorales, as well as various bacterial flora. The article provides an analysis of the sensitivity to antibacterial drugs of the most significant microorganisms in postcovoid lesions of the maxillofacial region, which were isolated as a result of microbiological research, namely Klebsiella pneumonia and Streptococcus viridans. The main criteria for choosing antimicrobial therapy for this pathology are also formulated.
