Identification of MMP-like protein from Streptococcus mitis [PDF]

World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews, 2020
Streptococcus mitis is a normal commensal of the human oral cavity and oropharynx. This microorganism is an opportunistic pathogen in immune compromised hosts and a cause of invasive diseases such as infective endocarditis. We isolated a matrix metalloprotease (MMP)-like protein of S. mitis.

Emerging locally delivered antimicrobial and immunomodulatory approaches for the prevention/treatment of peri‐implant diseases

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Peri‐implant diseases are dysbiosis‐mediated inflammatory disorders that occur in susceptible hosts. Antimicrobials and immunomodulatory agents therefore might be pertinent as adjunctive measures in the treatment of such disorders. The aim of this narrative review was to examine the existing evidence and assess the effectiveness of emerging ...
