| effect of amoxicillin use on oral microbiota in young children. | dental plaque samples from 40 children were screened for the presence of bacteria resistant to amoxicillin. fifteen children had used amoxicillin and 25 had not used any antibiotic in the 3 months prior to sample collection. all (100%) of the children harbored amoxicillin-resistant oral bacteria. the median percentage of the total cultivable oral microbiota resistant to amoxicillin was 2.4% (range, 0.1 to 14.3%) in children without amoxicillin use and 10.9% (range, 0.8 to 97.3%) in children with ... | 2004 | 15273096 |
| use of tuf sequences for genus-specific pcr detection and phylogenetic analysis of 28 streptococcal species. | a 761-bp portion of the tuf gene (encoding the elongation factor tu) from 28 clinically relevant streptococcal species was obtained by sequencing amplicons generated using broad-range pcr primers. these tuf sequences were used to select streptococcus-specific pcr primers and to perform phylogenetic analysis. the specificity of the pcr assay was verified using 102 different bacterial species, including the 28 streptococcal species. genomic dna purified from all streptococcal species was efficient ... | 2004 | 15297518 |
| [piercing and tattoos in patients with congenital heart disease -- is it a problem?]. | piercing and tattooing enjoy widespread popularity in modern society. patients with congenital heart disease are at elevated risk for infective endocarditis. however, it is not yet known whether piercing and tattooing are dangerous for these patients.a search of the literature provided 10 published cases of infective endocarditis after piercing or tattooing. affected patients were adolescents or young adults ranging in age from 13 to 30 years (5 male, 5 female). four of the patients had a known ... | 2004 | 15338148 |
| subgingival microbiota of chronic periodontitis subjects from different geographic locations. | most clinical studies assume that the subgingival microbiota is similar from one geographic location to another. the purpose of the present investigation was to examine the composition of the subgingival microbiota in chronic periodontitis subjects from four countries. | 2004 | 15491316 |
| emergence and spread of neisseria gonorrhoeae clinical isolates harboring mosaic-like structure of penicillin-binding protein 2 in central japan. | of 150 clinical isolates of neisseria gonorrhoeae recovered in 2001, we examined 55 clinical isolates of n. gonorrhoeae for which cefixime mics were > or=0.125 microg/ml and randomly selected 15 isolates for which cefixime mics were < or =0.06 microg/ml for analysis of alterations in the penicillin-binding protein 2 (pbp 2) gene. we found insertion of an extra codon (asp-345a) in the transpeptidase domain of pbp 2, and this insertion occurred alone or in conjunction with other amino acid substit ... | 2005 | 15616287 |
| differences in the subgingival microbiota of swedish and usa subjects who were periodontally healthy or exhibited minimal periodontal disease. | previous studies have shown differences in the mean proportions of subgingival species in samples from periodontitis subjects in different countries, which may relate to differences in diet, genetics, disease susceptibility and manifestation. the purpose of the present investigation was to determine whether there were differences in the subgingival microbiotas of swedish and american subjects who exhibited periodontal health or minimal periodontal disease. | 2005 | 15642056 |
| phototargeting oral black-pigmented bacteria. | we have found that broadband light (380 to 520 nm) rapidly and selectively kills oral black-pigmented bacteria (bpb) in pure cultures and in dental plaque samples obtained from human subjects with chronic periodontitis. we hypothesize that this killing effect is a result of light excitation of their endogenous porphyrins. cultures of prevotella intermedia and p. nigrescens were killed by 4.2 j/cm2, whereas p. melaninogenica required 21 j/cm2. exposure to light with a fluence of 42 j/cm2 produced ... | 2005 | 15793117 |
| evaluation of conventional and real-time pcr assays using two targets for confirmation of results of the cobas amplicor chlamydia trachomatis/neisseria gonorrhoeae test for detection of neisseria gonorrhoeae in clinical samples. | two conventional pcr-enzyme immunoassays (pcr-eias) and two real-time pcr assays (lightcycler system; roche diagnostics) were evaluated as confirmation assays with cppb and 16s rrna genes as targets. of 765 male and female genitourinary and nasopharyngeal specimens positive for neisseria gonorrhoeae in the cobas amplicor chlamydia trachomatis/neisseria gonorrhoeae pcr test (roche diagnostics), 229 (30%) were confirmed positive; 13 of these (5.7%) were lacking the cppb gene. of the 534 samples (7 ... | 2005 | 15872247 |
| the salivary microbiota as a diagnostic indicator of oral cancer: a descriptive, non-randomized study of cancer-free and oral squamous cell carcinoma subjects. | the purpose of the present investigation was to determine if the salivary counts of 40 common oral bacteria in subjects with an oral squamous cell carcinoma (oscc) lesion would differ from those found in cancer-free (oscc-free) controls. | 2005 | 15987522 |
| septic knee arthritis after intra-articular hyaluronate injection. two case reports. | intraarticular sodium hyaluronate injection to treat osteoarthritis is associated with minor side effects. infections seem uncommon. we report two cases of septic knee arthritis. one patient was an 80-year-old woman who was admitted for staphylococcus aureus knee arthritis after several intraarticular injections of sodium hyaluronate and corticosteroids. in the other patient, a 78-year-old woman, neisseria mucosa knee arthritis occurred after a single sodium hyaluronate injection. faultless asep ... | 2006 | 16046172 |
| peritonitis due to neisseria mucosa in an adolescent receiving peritoneal dialysis. | neisseria mucosa is part of the normal nasopharyngeal flora and rarely pathogenic in humans. reports of serious infections associated with this pathogen are very unusual. a 17-year-old boy with end-stage renal disease due to iga nephropathy presented with acute, spontaneous, symptomatic peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis without reported break in sterility or pd catheter exit site infection. beta-lactamase-negative n. mucosa was isolated from the dialysate effluent. intraperitoneal antib ... | 2005 | 16258875 |
| cultivable oral microbiota of domestic dogs. | bacteria were isolated from the dental plaques of nine dogs and a sample of pooled saliva from five other dogs and were then identified by comparative 16s rrna gene sequencing. among 339 isolates, 84 different phylotypes belonging to 37 genera were identified. approximately half of the phylotypes were identified to the species level, and 28% of these were considered members of the indigenous oral microbiota of humans. the 16s rrna gene sequences of the remaining 44 phylotypes were not represente ... | 2005 | 16272472 |
