What bacteria is transferred by a human bite(through the mouth)?
believe it or not that is where most of our germs are
Reply:Your mouth has mucous membranes, which can potentially harbor STD's. If the bite cuts through your skin, they could be transmitted.





I doubt there is a pathogen you could rule out. If the mouth of the biter was infected, all bets are off.
Reply:Staph species (all of them), strep species (all of them), + eikenella corrodens.
Reply:Human biting injuries





Injuries from human bites present a particular risk to other humans, with a major risk of sepsis from infection by human oral bacteria and the possibility of transmission of blood-borne diseases including Hepatitis B, HIV/AIDS, syphilis and hepatitis.





Involuntary biting injuries due to closed-fist injuries from fists striking teeth are a common consequence of fist fights. Injuries in which the knuckle joints or tendons of the hand are bitten into tend to be the most serious.





In spite of their name, love bites are not biting injuries (they involve bruising from sucking, and the skin is not broken), although actual biting injuries are sometimes seen as the result of fetishistic activities.





Treatment


Thorough wound toilet is essential: this involves washing out the wound, the removal of any foreign material and debriding any dead or infected tissue. Surgical consultation may be required.





Antibiotics are an important part of the management of a human bite, but are only effective after wound toilet has been completed. Amoxicillin/Clavanulate 625mg thrice daily for at least ten days is the optimal prophylaxis for infection. If the patient is penicillin-allergic, then use doxycycline 100mg twice daily with metronidazole 400mg thrice daily. Macrolides such as clarithromycin or erythromycin must not be used to treat human bites because many human oral commensals are resistant to these antibiotics. Clindamycin is also ineffective





Due to the risk of hepatitis B transmission, the non immunized patient should be offered a dose of Hep B immune globulin, followed by an accelerated course of the Hep B series.





NOTE: Rabies is a virus Not a bacteria. Though rare, it too, can be transmitted by a human bite.
