Interference of antibiotics in the growth curves of oral streptococci.
The growth curve interference (GCI) induced by different antibiotics was studied using reference strains of oral streptococci. This parameter may prove to be useful in preventing subacute endocarditis of odontological origin in high-risk patients. The growth curves using different concentrations of antibiotics and with an initial optical density (OD) of 0.05 +/- 0.01 were observed until an OD o...
متن کاملStress Responses of Oral Streptococci
To persist in the oral cavity, bacteria must be able to tolerate rapid and substantial environmental fluctuations, particularly in pH and nutrient source and availability. Various species of Streptococcus, one of the most abundant genera in the mouth, are associated with oral health, as well as with dental caries. Cariogenic streptococci depend on a biofilm lifestyle for survival and persistenc...
متن کاملOral streptococci... products of their environment.
Microbial biofilms form on oral surfaces. These biofilms usually exist in dynamic equilibria with host defenses and are compatible with maintenance of the integrity of the target tissues. Disease occurs when the composition and the metabolic activities of complex communities in biofilms are perturbed. These ecologically driven changes in oral biofilms result in increases in the proportions of p...
متن کاملSaliva-induced aggregation of oral streptococci.
Cells of several species of oral microorganisms have been shown, in earlier studies, to be aggregated by saliva. In the present study some of the basic properties of the aggregation system are examined. The observation is made that the saliva-induced aggregates of Streptococcus sanguis and S. mitis can be dissociated to stable particles which consist of about 100 cells and have a median diamete...
متن کاملEvaluation of early stages of oral Streptococci biofilm growth by optical microscopy. Effect of antimicrobial agents
The aim of this chapter was to describe a simple and non invasive methodology and assemblage to assess the initial stages of Streptococci biofilm formation and the influence of antimicrobial agents (AA) and substratum roughness on biofilm distribution, microstructure and compactness. The experimental set up consisted in thin stainless steel orthodontic bands which were immersed in the medium in...
