Abstract
Osteomyelitis is an inflammatory condition of the bone caused by pathogenic bacteria. The causative pathogen is usually oral residing bacteria, but this is a report of patients with osteomyelitis infected with Enterobacteriaceae, which is not common. Enterobacteriaceae has been known to cause in-hospital infections for over last 30 years and is known to have multiple antibiotic resistances. Both cases in this study developed osteomyelitis after removal of the dentigerous cyst. Enterobacter aerogenes was cultured in one patient and Serratia marcescens in the other. After changing antibiotics through antibiotic susceptibility testing, clinical symptoms subsided and radiographic images confirmed that the callus formed and recovered at the same time.
