Biotyping and Molecular Detection of Streptococcus Mutans and Streptococcus Sobrinus in Caries Active Subjects
Dental caries is one of the most common prevailing disease in humans and a significant public health problem worldwide. Mutans streptococci are a group of oral bacteria, among this group Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus are frequently associated with dental caries. The aim of the present study was (i) To investigate the reliability of morphological, biochemical and multiplex PCR ...
متن کاملNovel method of biotyping Haemophilus influenzae that uses API 20e.
One hundred Haemophilus influenzae isolates from various body sites were biotyped by conventional methods and by the API 20E system (Analytab Products, Plainview, N.Y.). By using a hemin- and a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-enriched saline solution as the inoculating fluid for the API 20E, a 100% correlation of results was obtained between the two methods. Ninety percent of the blood and ce...
متن کاملAPI ZYM: a simple rapid system for the detection of bacterial enzymes.
The API ZYM system of detection of enzymes has been applied to 81 bacteria belonging to several species. It was found to be easy to use and has produced results that may be useful in the identification of a variety of bacteria.
متن کاملEnzymatic characterization of some oral and nonoral gram-negative bacteria with the API ZYM system.
The API ZYM system (Analytab Products, Plainview, N.Y.), containing 19 chromogenic substrates, was utilized semiquantitatively to detect extracellular acid and alkaline phosphatases, aminopeptidases, proteases, esterase-lipase, phosphoamidase, and glycosidases in 128 oral and nonoral isolates of black-pigmented Bacteroides, Actinobacillus, Haemophilus aphrophilus, Capnocytophaga, Fusobacterium ...
متن کاملMethods of Biotyping of Streptococcus mutans Species with the Routine Test as a Prognostic Value in Early Childhood Caries
PURPOSE In order to investigate the suitability of Streptococcus mutans species biotyping by measuring the activity of selected enzymes from a commercial test, criteria were established for biotyping clinical strains from children with dental caries. In addition, the relationships between the selected biotypes, sensitivity to commonly used antibiotics, and early childhood caries were determined...
