Abstract

Rothia dentocariosa is a Gram-positive, coccoid to bacillus-shaped bacterium. It is a normal commensal of the oral cavity of humans. It is also an incidental and occasional cause of infections. We, here, report a case of gluteal abscess due to this bacterium, in an immunocompetent but debilitated host. The isolate was susceptible in vitro to Amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and the patient responded very well to this drug and the infection was resolved.
