Direct and indirect effects of different dentifrices on the initial bacterial colonization of enamel in situ overnight

International Journal of Dental Hygiene, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 178-187, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the direct and indirect influence of fluoridated toothpastes and fluoride‐free toothpaste with hydroxyapatite (HAP) as active ingredient on initial bacterial colonization on enamel in situ. Methods For this clinical‐experimental pilot study, eight subjects were instructed to brush their teeth ...

Severe cutaneous vasculitis as a symptom of right-sided infectious endocarditis in a patient with intravenous using of methadone: a clinical case [PDF]

Българска кардиология, 2023
A bacterial infection of the heart’s endocardial surface causes infectious endocarditis (IE). The heart valves or an intracardiac devices are most affected. In most cases of right-sided endocarditis, the tricuspid valve is involved. Using drugs

Pneumococcal endocarditis of subacute evolution

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2001
With the development of penicillin, Streptococcus pneumoniae has become an uncommon cause of bacterial endocarditis in adults. Subacute manifestation of pneumococcal endocarditis has been reported a few times in the literature, but most reports define ...

Maltohexaose-indocyanine green (MH-ICG) for near infrared imaging of endocarditis.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Infectious endocarditis is a life-threatening disease, and diagnostics are urgently needed to accurately diagnose this disease especially in the case of prosthetic valve endocarditis. We show here that maltohexaose conjugated to indocyanine green (MH-ICG)

RVOT mural and mitral valve endocarditis: A case report

Indian Heart Journal, 2015
Mural endocarditis is a very rare condition. This entity involves bacterial growth on cardiac walls. In addition, concomitant valvular endocarditis, along with mural endocarditis, is an extremely rare combination.

Self-similar dynamics of bacterial chemotaxis [PDF]

Phys. Rev. E 86, 062901 (2012), 2012
Colonies of bacteria grown on thin agar plate exhibit fractal patterns as a result of adaptation to their environments. The bacterial colony pattern formation is regulated crucially by chemotaxis, the movement of cells along a chemical concentration gradient.

TnSmu1 is a functional integrative and conjugative element in Streptococcus mutans that when expressed causes growth arrest of host bacteria

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 118, Issue 6, Page 652-669, December 2022., 2022
TnSmu1 is an integrative and conjugative element (ICE) (a type of mobile element that is transferred from cell to cell via conjugation) found in the genome of the oral pathogen Streptococcus mutans. We found that TnSmu1 is a functional ICE, capable of transfer to recipient cells that lack a copy of TnSmu1.

Antibacterial Siderophores of Pandoraea Pathogens and Their Impact on the Diseased Lung Microbiota

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Genome mining of environmental and pathogenic Pandoraea species identified a conserved NRPS gene cluster and led to the discovery of novel siderophores, pandorabactins, which exert their antibacterial activity by depleting iron from competitors. Bioinformatic analysis of sputum from cystic fibrosis patients coupled with bioassays indicates that ...

Diagnosis of Coxiella burnetii Prosthetic Joint Infection Using mNGS and ptNGS: A Case Report and Literature Review

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 15, Issue 1, Page 371-376, January 2023., 2023
Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) caused by Coxiella burnetii is rare and has atypical clinical symptoms and can cause missed diagnosis. Molecular diagnostic techniques metagenomic next‐generation sequencing (mNGS) and pathogen‐targeted next‐generation sequencing (ptNGS) are important tools for diagnosing C.

Europe's contribution to the evaluation of the use of systemic antimicrobials in the treatment of periodontitis

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract This narrative review celebrates Europe's contribution to the current knowledge on systemically administered antimicrobials in periodontal treatment. Periodontitis is the most frequent chronic noncommunicable human disease. It is caused by dysbiotic bacterial biofilms and is commonly treated with subgingival instrumentation.
