Phototargeting oral black-pigmented bacteria.
We have found that broadband light (380 to 520 nm) rapidly and selectively kills oral black-pigmented bacteria (BPB) in pure cultures and in dental plaque samples obtained from human subjects with chronic periodontitis. We hypothesize that this killing effect is a result of light excitation of their endogenous porphyrins. Cultures of Prevotella intermedia and P. nigrescens were killed by 4.2 J/...

In this proposal we seek to establish a porous silicon based etching process in the WTC microfabrication laboratory. The new process will allow us to etch high aspect ratio holes through a wafer. Holes like these are important for decreasing the dead volume of connections between micro and macro systems and for increasing the complexity of micro-fluidic systems. At the present time, the minimum...
متن کاملBlack-pigmented Bacteroides spp. in human apical periodontitis.
The incidence of black-pigmented (BP) Bacteroides spp. in 62 human dental root canal infections (35 acute and 27 clinically asymptomatic cases of apical periodontitis) in 57 adults was studied. Altogether 37 strains of BP Bacteroides were found in 31 infections, always in mixed anaerobic infections. Two different BP Bacteroides species were present in six infections. B. intermedius was most fre...
متن کاملBlack-pigmented gram-negative anaerobes in endodontic infections.
Necrotic dental root canal infections are polymicrobial infections dominated by anaerobic bacteria. The number of different species in one canal is usually low, approx. 4-7 species. The species isolated most frequently belong to the genera Prevotella, Porphyromonas, Fusobacterium, Peptostreptococcus, Eubacterium and Streptococcus. The frequency of isolation of black-pigmented Gram-negative anae...
متن کاملThe Black Bug Myth: Selective photodestruction of pigmented pathogens.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE It is commonly believed that pigmented pathogens are selectively targeted by dental lasers. To test this notion optical diffuse reflection spectroscopy (DRS) was used to obtain absorption spectra for the periodontal pathogens, Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) and Prevotella intermedia (Pi). MATERIALS AND METHODS Spectra from 400 to 1,100 nm wavelengths of Pg colonies cul...
