Overview

The cause of peritonsillar abscess is usually polymicrobial. It is predominantly caused by aerobic and anaerobic bacteria.[1] Streptococcus pyogenes is the most common cause of peritonsillar abscess.[2][1][3][4] Other common causes include; Fusobacterium necrophorum, Streptococcus milleri, Staphylococci, Haemophilus, Prevotella, Acinetobacter spp., Candida albicans, Peptostreptococcus spp., Pseudomonas spp., Enterobacter spp. and Klebsiella.[2][1]
