چکیده
Chronic periodontitis is the most common type of periodontitis and it is associated with various species of microorganisms. Enteric rods, Pseudomonas, Staphyloccocus and Candida have been retrieved from periodontal pockets of patients with chronic periodontitis and correlated to cases of superinfection. Local or systemic antibiotic therapy is indicated to reinforce the effects of the conventional mechanical therapy. Minocycline has been suggested as one of the most effective drugs against periodontal pathogens. The aim of this work was to evaluate the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of minocycline on superinfecting microorganisms isolated from the periodontal pocket and the oral cavity of individuals with chronic periodontitis. Isolates of Enterobacteriaceae (n = 25), Staphylococcus spp. (n = 25), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n = 9) and Candida spp. (n = 25) were included in the study. Minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of minocycline were determined using the Müeller-Hinton agar dilution method. Staphylococcus spp. isolates were the most sensitive to minocycline with a MIC of 8 μg/mL, followed by Enterobacteriaceae with a MIC of 16 μg/mL. The concentration of 16 μg/mL inhibited 96% of Candida spp. isolates. The MIC for 88.8% of the isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was 128 μg/mL. A concentration of 1,000 μg/mL was not enough to inhibit 100% of the tested isolates. DESCRIPTORS: Periodontitis; Minocycline; Minimum inhibitory concentration. RESUMO: Periodontite crônica é a forma mais comum de periodontite e está associada a diversas espécies de microrganismos. Enterobactérias, Pseudomonas, Staphyloccocus e Candida têm sido recuperados de bolsas periodontais de indivíduos com periodontite crônica e implicados em casos de superinfecção. A terapia antimicrobiana local ou sistêmica pode ser utilizada para reforçar os efeitos da terapia mecânica convencional, e a minociclina tem sido sugerida como antimicrobiano efi caz frente a periodontopatógenos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a concentração inibitória mínima (CIM) de minociclina sobre microrganismos superinfectantes isolados de bolsas periodontais e cavidade bucal de indivíduos com periodontite crônica. Foram utilizadas 84 cepas de microrganismos, incluindo Enterobacteriaceae (n = 25), Staphylococcus spp. (n = 25), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n = 9) e Candida spp. (n = 25). A CIM foi determinada pelo método de diluição em ágar Müeller-Hinton. Staphylococcus foram os microrganismos mais sensíveis a minociclina com CIM de 8 μg/mL, seguidos por Enterobacteriaceae com CIM de 16 μg/mL. Entre as espécies de Candida, 96% foram inibidas na concentração de 16 μg/mL. Para 88,8% das cepas de Pseudomonas aeruginosa a CIM foi de 128 μg/mL. A concentração de 1.000 μg/mL não foi sufi ciente para inibir 100% das cepas testadas. DESCRITORES: Periodontite; Minociclina; Concentração inibitória mínima.

INTRODUCTION Candida genus yeasts are considered superinfecting microorganisms and can lead to severe periodontal infections in immunocompromised patients or individuals under antimicrobial therapy for long periods. Under specific situations, such as in immunodepressed patients, the superinfection by Candida can be refractory to conventional periodontal treatments. In these cases, the systemic ...
