An Investigation of Antibiotic Resistance of Aggregatibacter Actinomycetemcomitans and Porphyromonas Gingivalis in Peri-implantitis Lesions

Background and Aim: It has been shown that anaerobic and capnophilic bacteria play an important role in implant failure and loss. The present study is an in vitro research aimed to investigate the antibiotic resistance of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomi-tans (Aa) and Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) in peri-implantitis lesions of Iranian pa-tients and to find laboratory efficiency of some antibi...

Porphyromonas gingivalis Formation by Role of Polyphosphate Kinase in Biofilm

Porphyromonas gingivalis and Treponema denticola Synergistic Polymicrobial Biofilm Development

Chronic periodontitis has a polymicrobial biofilm aetiology and interactions between key bacterial species are strongly implicated as contributing to disease progression. Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola and Tannerella forsythia have all been implicated as playing roles in disease progression. P. gingivalis cell-surface-located protease/adhesins, the gingipains, have been suggested...

Effect of azithromycin on a red complex polymicrobial biofilm

Azithromycin has recently gained popularity for the treatment of periodontal disease, despite sparse literature supporting efficiency in treating periodontal bacterial biofilms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of azithromycin on biofilms comprised of Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola, and Tannerella forsythia in comparison to an amoxicillin and metronidazole combina...
