A salivary gland infection occurs when a bacterial or viral infection affects the salivary gland or duct. The infection can result from reduced saliva flow or the blockage or inflammation of a salivary duct. The condition is called sialadenitis. Your mouth is almost constantly flushed with saliva.
Sialadenitis can be caused by either viruses or bacteria. Mumps and flu are the two most common viral infections that cause inflammation of the salivary glands. Staph and strep are most commonly associated with bacterial infection of these glands.
