Identification of Exophiala mesophila isolated from treated dental unit waterlines.
Members of the genus Exophiala are often difficult to identify to the species level because of their variable morphological appearances. This paper describes the methods used to identify Exophiala mesophila and provides salient differential features for distinguishing other mesophilic members of the genus.
متن کاملOpportunistic bacteria in dental unit waterlines: assessment and characteristics.
AIM The study aimed to determine qualitative and quantitative contamination of dental unit reservoir water with aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria, with regards to health risk to dental staff and patients. MATERIALS & METHODS The study material included water samples from 107 unit reservoirs. Conventional microbiological methods were used. The isolated bacteria were divided into three...
متن کاملSubstantivity of hypochlorous acid-based disinfectant against biofilm formation in the dental unit waterlines
OBJECTIVE The purpose of the study was to examine the substantivity of a new disinfectant against biofilm formation in the dental unit waterlines. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty dental units were selected for the study and divided into two groups: Group A (dental unit waterlines treated with the disinfectant) and Group B (untreated dental unit waterlines). Biofilm formation was monitored in bot...
متن کاملMicrobial contamination of dental unit waterlines.
The specific structure of dental units favours the presence of biofilm and microbial contamination of the dental unit waterlines (DUWL) water. The ability of bacteria to colonize surfaces and to form biofilm in water supply tubes, including DUWL, is a common phenomenon, which has been well documented, just as with difficulties in biofilm removal and prevention of its regrowth. Microorganisms fr...
متن کاملBacterial contamination of dental unit waterlines
Safety of patients and dental personnel requires the appropriate microbiological water quality in dental units. During treatment, patients and dental workers are exposed both to direct contact with bacteria-contaminated water in the form of splatter and with contaminated water aerosol emitted during work by unit handpieces, including rotating and ultrasonic instruments. The aim of the study was...
