    This research is about antimicrobial resistance of microorganisms prevalent in periodontal abscesses in pediatric patients aged 6 to 12 years who attend the dental Specialties Office. Periodontal abscess is an oral infection caused by bacteria that destroy the connective tissue, encapsulation of the bacterial infection occurs, causing a serious problem. The microorganisms causing periodontal abscess and susceptibility to antibiotics were identified through phenotypic tests, such as selective cultures to isolate microorganisms present in periodontal abscesses, biochemical tests for their identification and antibiogram for the study of susceptibility. The objective is to determine the antimicrobial resistance behavior of microorganisms prevalent in periodontal abscesses. The research is qualitative and quantitative, non-experimental, prospective, non-parametric, the research process goes through the descriptive level because the study was conducted in pediatric children, and in its relationship the research is correlational by establishing a connection between the identification of prevalent microorganisms in periodontal abscesses and antimicrobial resistance patterns and finally it is prospective. From the 110 analyzed samples of periodontal abscesses of pediatric patients, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus spp, Streptococcus viridans Enterococcus spp were isolated by phenotypic methods. An analysis of the accumulation of susceptibility patterns of prevalent strains was performed. Staphylococcus aureus was identified as the MRSA resistance pattern, Staphylococcus spp and Streptococcus viridans resistant to MLSB and Enterococcus spp resistant to ampicillin identified by the antibiogram and it was determined that there is a high prevalence of periodontal abscesses in pediatric patients aged 6 and 7 years. An antimicrobial susceptibility card was developed for the cumulative analysis of the antimicrobial susceptibility of the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus spp, Streptococcus viridans and Enterococcus spp in periodontal abscesses.
