Long‐term stability of conventional non‐regenerative periodontal treatment for furcation defects
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.Abstract Background Furcation involvement (FI) in multi‐rooted teeth poses significant challenges in periodontal therapy due to complex anatomy and difficulty in achieving effective maintenance. FI is associated with increased periodontal destruction, especially in sites with narrow furcation entrances and deep root concavities.

Typing African Relapsing Fever Spirochetes
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005 Relapsing fever Borrelia spp. challenge microbiologic typing because they possess segmented genomes that maintain essential genes on large linear plasmids. Antigenic variation further complicates typing.

Novel and emerging antimicrobial strategies in the management of oral infections
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.Abstract Background Antibiotics marked a pivotal turning point in human civilization, enhancing social interactions and extending human life expectancy. In addition to their success in treating systemic infectious diseases, they have significantly improved periodontal treatment outcomes as an adjunct therapy.

Arthritis Is Developed in Borrelia-Primed And -Infected Mice Deficient of Interleukin-17 [PDF]
, 2016 Interleukin-17 (IL-17) has been shown to participate in the development of Lyme arthritis in experimental mice. For example, neutralization of IL-17 with antibodies inhibits induction of arthritis in Borrelia-primed and -infected C57BL/6 wild-type mice ...

Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Human activities play a significant role in the emergence of infectious diseases. We aimed to test whether artificial irrigation affects the occurrence of a zoonotic bacteria sensitive to desiccation, pathogenic Leptospira species (pathoLep), in micromammals inhabiting Mediterranean ecosystems.
