Ecological considerations in the treatment of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans and Porphyromonas gingivalis periodontal infections.
The appearance of this issue of PERIODONTOLOGY 2000 is a tribute to the sustained efforts of an international group of oral microbiologists, immunologists and clinical investigators. When one of us (SSS) began work in this field in 1957, Actinobacillus actinomyceterncornitans was unknown in periodontal microbiology and Porphyromonas gingiualis was not known as such, although the “black-pigmente...
متن کاملEndocarditis caused by Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans.
Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans is a gram-negative coccobacillus which is a very rare cause of bacterial endocarditis. Preexisting cardiac lesions are a main contributing factor, and antibiotic prophylaxis has long been felt necessary before dental or other manipulation to prevent endocarditis. Penicillin in combination with an aminoglycoside has been the most often used treatment regimen....
متن کاملSerology of oral Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans and serotype distribution in human periodontal disease.
Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans from the human oral cavity was serologically characterized with rabbit antisera to the type strain NCTC 9710; a number of reference strains, including Y4, ATCC 29522, ATCC 29523, ATCC 29524, NCTC 9709; and our own isolates representative of each of 10 biotypes. Using immunoabsorbed antisera, we identified three distinct serotypes by immunodiffusion and indir...
متن کاملIn vitro antimicrobial susceptibility of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans.
The agar dilution technique was used for determination of the antibiotic susceptibilities of 57 oral isolates and 2 nonoral isolates of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans. Tetracycline, minocycline, and chloramphenicol inhibited more than 96% of the strains tested at a concentration of less than or equal to 2 micrograms/ml; 89% of the strains were inhibited by 2 micrograms of carbenicillin pe...
متن کاملVirulence factors of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans relevant to the pathogenesis of inflammatory periodontal diseases.
There is strong evidence implicating Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans as the causative agent of localised juvenile periodontitis (LJP), a disease characterised by rapid destruction of the tooth-supporting tissues. This organism possesses a large number of virulence factors with a wide range of activities which enable it to colonise the oral cavity, invade periodontal tissues, evade host def...
