Despite its presence normally in the mouth, R dentocariosa appears rarely to cause infection outside the oral cavity. There is no doubt, however, as additional reports accumulate, that this organism should be recognized as having the ability to cause a serious illness in humans. In addition, in vivo experience seems to suggest that a penicillin regimen should remain first-line therapy for this infection, with the efficacy of other agents remaining unproved.
尽管龋齿罗氏菌通常存在于口腔中,但它在口腔外很少引起感染。然而,随着更多报告的积累,毫无疑问,这种微生物应被视为具有导致人类严重疾病的能力。此外,体内实验似乎表明,青霉素疗法仍应作为这种感染的一线治疗方法,其他药物的疗效尚未得到证实。
