چکیده

t Inn 23 untreated adult periodontitis patients, the occurrence of Ö-lactamase producingg periodontal bacteria was determined. In addition to non-selective isolationn media, selective isolation and growth of ö-lactamase positive subgingival bacteriall species was carried out on blood agar plates supplemented with amoxicillinn and plates with amoxicillin + clavulanic acid. Porphyromonas gingivalis,lis, Prevotella intermedia, Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, PeptostreptococcusPeptostreptococcus micros, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Bacteroides forsythus andd Campylobacter rectus isolates from the non-selective medium were tested forr Ö-lactamase activity by a nitrocefin disk method (DrySlide®) and by a laboratoryy chromogenic nitrocefin-based test. Isolates from the amoxicillin plates that weree absent on the amoxicillin/clavulanic acid plates were identified and tested forr Ö-lactamase production. Based on the non-selective plates, 6 of 23 P. intermediamedia isolates, 2 of 19 B. forsythus isolates and 3 of 23 F. nucleatum isolates weree Ö-lactamase positive. The ö-lactamase positive species Prevotella loescheii,scheii, Prevotella buccae, Prevotella buccalis and Actinomyces spp were recoveredd from the selective amoxicillin plates. Ö-Lactamase positive subgingival speciess were recovered from 17 of 23 patients (74%) but usually comprised low proportionss of the subgingival microflora (range < 0.01-15%). Comparison of the DrySlide®® test and the nitrocefin-based laboratory test revealed full agreement of testt results. Ö-Lactamase activity in whole subgingival plaque was detected in 12 patientt samples (52%). It was concluded that ö-lactamase activity in subgingival bacteriaa in adult periodontitis is a common feature. However, since the majority off the samples showed only low-level enzymatic activity, the clinical relevance of thiss observation with regard to therapy with unprotected enzyme-susceptible Ölactamss is uncertain, though failure on the other hand, is difficult to rule out when aa mechanism of resistance is present. The majority of ö-lactamase positive strainss was found among species of the Prevotella genus.

  Periodontal infections are categorized into various groups based on patient’s age or bacteria presented in dental pockets. There are Juvenile periodontitis, rapidly progressing periodontitis and adult periodontitis. Adult periodontitis is known as the most prevalent cause of tooth loss in adult patients. In current study, 100 teeth of patients who suffered from adult periodontistis were selec...

Induction of the immune response to periodontopathic bacteria and its role in the pathogenesis of periodontitis.

Periodontitis results from infection with subgingival plaque-forming bacteria followed by host immune responses. Recent data indicate that Porphyromonas gingivalis, Actinobacillus actinomycetemcornitans and Bacteroides forsythus initiate and progress periodontitis (1). Pgingivalisis mostly found in deep periodontal pockets and especially in active sites (111, 212, 239). A. actinomycetemcomitans...

Antibiotic resistance in bacteria isolated from subgingival plaque in a norwegian population with refractory marginal periodontitis.

The prevalence of beta-lactamase-producing bacteria in subgingival plaque from patients with refractory periodontitis in Norway was assessed by the chromogenic nitrocefin method. beta-Lactamase activity was detected in 68% of the patients. Enzyme-producing strains belonged predominantly to the genus Prevotella; others were staphylococci, enteric gram-negative rods, and Bacillus spp.

Effects of periodontopathic bacteria on the expression of endothelin-1 in gingival epithelial cells in adult periodontitis.

Adult periodontitis, which is the major cause of adult tooth loss, is commonly characterized by chronic inflammatory disease caused by infection with periodontopathic bacteria such as Porphyromonas gingivalis. Our aims in the present study were to examine the expression of endothelin-1 (ET-1) in cultured HEp-2 epithelial cells after infection with P. gingivalis, and in gingival tissue from adul...

Oral immunization with recombinant Streptococcus gordonii expressing porphyromonas gingivalis FimA domains.

Porphyromonas gingivalis, a gram-negative anaerobe, is implicated in the etiology of adult periodontitis. P. gingivalis fimbriae are one of several critical surface virulence factors involved in both bacterial adherence and inflammation. P. gingivalis fimbrillin (FimA), the major subunit protein of fimbriae, is considered an important antigen for vaccine development against P. gingivalis-associ...
