Interindividual variability and intraindividual stability of oral fungal microbiota over time.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Oral microbiota is one of the most complex and diverse microbial communities in the human body. In the present study, we aimed to characterize oral fungi biodiversity and stability over time in a group of healthy participants with good oral health. Oral health and oral fungal microbiota were evaluated in 40 healthy individuals. A follow-up of 10 participants was carried out 28 weeks and 30 weeks after the first sampling. Oral rinse was collected and incubated in a fungal selective medium at 25ºC and 37ºC for 7 days. Fungi were identified based on macro- and microscopic morphology. API/ID32C was used for yeast identification, and molecular techniques were used to identify the most prevalent nonidentified moulds, mainly by sequencing 18S and internally transcribed spacer regions. Moulds were recovered from all participants and yeast from 92.5%. The most frequently isolated fungi were Candida spp., Rhodotorula spp., Penicillium spp., Aspergillus spp., and Cladosporium spp. The oral fungal community presented a high interindividual variability, but the frequency and quantification of each fungal taxon was constant over the 30-week observation period, showing a consistent intraindividual stability over time. The intraindividual stability opposed to interindividual variability may suggest a common and a variable group of fungi in the oral cavity.

Intraindividual variability of the bioavailability of low dose methotrexate after oral administration in rheumatoid arthritis.
OBJECTIVES To analyse whether the intraindividual variability of the bioavailability of oral methotrexate in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is as high as the interindividual variability and whether the bioavailability testing can be simplified. METHODS Fifteen mg methotrexate was given orally after an overnight fast to 10 patients with RA on two occasions, one week (n = 4) or two years (n = 6) apa...
متن کاملInvolvement of Multiple Transporters-mediated Transports in Mizoribine and Methotrexate Pharmacokinetics
Mizoribine is administered orally and excreted into urine without being metabolized. Many research groups have reported a linear relationship between the dose and peak serum concentration, between the dose and AUC, and between AUC and cumulative urinary excretion of mizoribine. In contrast, a significant interindividual variability, with a small intraindividual variability, in oral bioavailabil...
متن کاملArtifact robustness, inter- and intraindividual baseline stability, and rational EEG parameter selection.
BACKGROUND Artifact robustness (i.e., size of deviation of an electroencephalographic parameter value from baseline caused by artifacts) and baseline stability (i.e., consistency of median baseline values) of electroencephalographic parameters profoundly influence electroencephalography-based pharmacodynamic parameter estimation and the usefulness of the processed electroencephalogram as measur...
متن کاملIntra- and interindividual variabilities of valacyclovir oral bioavailability and effect of coadministration of an hPEPT1 inhibitor.
Variability in valacyclovir bioavailability and the potential for cephalexin-valacyclovir interaction were evaluated. The intraindividual acyclovir area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) varied minimally, whereas interindividual differences were substantial. Coadministration of the human peptide transporter 1 (hPEPT1) substrates valacyclovir and cephalexin minimally reduced the acyclovir...
متن کاملVariability of model-free and model-based quantitative measures of EEG.
Variable contributions of state and trait to the electroencephalographic (EEG) signal affect the stability over time of EEG measures, quite apart from other experimental uncertainties. The extent of intraindividual and interindividual variability is an important factor in determining the statistical, and hence possibly clinical significance of observed differences in the EEG. This study investi...
