Frequency evaluation of Pseudomonas SPP contamination in the dental unit water line system at Mashhad dental school
Background and aim: One of the well-known bacteria in dental unit water contamination is Pseudomonas aueroginosa. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the amount of Pseudomonas aeruginosa species infection in the dental unit water samples of Dental Faculty of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences. Material and methods: Water samples collected randomly from the turbines of 10% of the ac...
متن کاملEvaluation of Gram Negative Bacterial Contamination in Dental Unit Water Supplies in a University Clinic in Tabriz, Iran
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Bacterial contamination of dental unit water supplies (DUWS) has attracted a lot of attention in recent years due to the emergence of serious infectionsin susceptible dental patients. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the presence of gram-negative bacterial contamination in DUWS at Tabriz University of Medical Sciences Faculty of Dentistry. MATERIALS AND METHODS...
متن کاملMultiple approaches to control dental unit water line biofilm contamination
Biofilms form rapidly on dental unit waterlines. The specific design of dental units favors bacteria to colonize surfaces and to form biofilm in water supply tubes, including dental unit water line (DUWL). The majority of the organisms in the biofilm are harmless environmental species, but some dental units may harbour opportunistic respiratory pathogens. Microbiological control of dental unit ...
متن کاملMolecular analysis for bacterial contamination in dental unit water lines.
Bacterial contamination in dental unit waterlines (DUWLs) was evaluated by molecular techniques in addition to the conventional culture method. Water samples (n=8) from DUWLs were investigated for heterotrophic bacteria by culture method using R2A agar. The selected bacterial antibiotic-resistance genes and Legionella species-specific 16SrDNA were identified by PCR. The profiles of bacterial co...
متن کاملImpact of cleaning regimes on dental water unit contamination.
Microorganisms that have been identified in dental unit waterlines (DUWLs) are of concern because they can cause infections, especially in immunocompromised patients. This study aimed to assess the incidence of microbial contamination in DUWLs before and after intervention to reduce contamination, and to investigate the presence of coliforms, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Water s...
