Susceptibility of microorganisms isolated from necrotic pulps to calcium hydroxide

Calcium hydroxide has been used as pulp-capping agent and canal dressing due to its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties besides its ability to induce formation of mineralized tissues. The aim of this study was to evaluate the susceptibility to calcium hydroxide of 146 bacterial strains isolated from endodontic infections. MIC was determined by using an agar dilution method, while contact bactericide activity was performed through in broth. All the isolates were sensitive to calcium hydroxide in concentrations that varied from 0.5mg/ml to 128 mg/ml, and the genera Enterococcus, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus and Actinomyces were the most resistant. Gramnegative anaerobes proved to be the most sensitive isolates. All the isolates were inhibited after 60 minutes of contact with the alkali in concentration of 100mg/ml

Atividade inibitória de extratos de plantas da savana brasileira sobre microrganismos superinfectantes e oportunistas

A utilização de compostos naturais na medicina de populações tradicionais é uma realidade em todo o mundo e o cerrado brasileiro apresenta grande diversidade de vegetais com uso potencial no tratamento de infecções por microrganismos oportunistas. Esse estudo avaliou a atividade antimicrobiana dos extratos vegetais do cerrado brasileiro sobre microrganismos oportunistas e superinfectantes. Nos testes foram preparados extratos hidroalcoólicos e aquosos de 22 espécies de plantas utilizadas nas regiões Norte, Nordeste e Centro-Oeste como parte da medicina popular. Esses extratos foram testados sobre Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 19433 e Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 10145 e dez isolados clínicos de cada uma dessas espécies microbianas. Inicialmente foi realizada uma triagem para se determinar a atividade antimicrobiana dos extratos. Em seguida, foram realizados testes para avaliar a maior diluição inibitória dos extratos por meio do método de diluição em caldo e testes de atividade inibitória em biofilme. Os resultados demonstraram que embora aproximadamente 20% de todos os extratos mostraram atividade inibitória sobre algum dos microrganismos alvo, os mais ativos foram os extratos aquosos e hidroalcoólicos de araçá e aroeira, se mostrando ativos frente a todos os microrganismos.

Antimicrobial activity of plants infusions on oral fusobacteria and their adherence to human erythrocytes

Periodontal disease is the result of the interrelationship between microbiotic aggression and the host’s organic defence. Amongst the microorganisms involved in periodontopathies, Fusobacterium nucleatum is conspicuous by establishing a link between the initial and final colonizers, besides producing toxic compounds and adhering to the host’s cells. Control of bacterial biofilm can be achieved by use of chemical agents, many of which extracted from plants. Thus the object of this study was to evaluate the inhibitory activity in vitro of some teas, generally taken in a normal diet, on Fusobacterium nucleatum and your adherence to host’s cells. Minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations were established and haemagglutinative test in microplaques was effected. It was ascertained that all plant extracts have inhibitory activity and that infusions of Camellia sinensis (black tea and green tea), Mentha piperita (mint) and Pimpinella anixem (aniseed) added to the bacteria/erythrocyte compound reduced significantly the adherence of microorganisms.

Enterococcus spp. em espécimes clínicos de pacientes atendidos em unidades de terapia intensiva

The relationship between the occurrence of enterococci in the oral microbiota and serious infections in patients hospitalized in intensive care units (ICU) has been established. This study evaluated the presence of Enterococcus faecalis and other species of this genus in the mouths of patients on ICU, correlating it with oral and systemic conditions. Data on health and socioeconomic, medication use, medical and family history of patients maintained for 72 hours in the ICU, diagnosed with severe infection or who have developed this condition after the entry to the unit were obtained. Fifty patients provided intraoral and extraoral clinical samples for analysis (above and subgingival biofilm, saliva and buccal mucosa, followed by obtaining samples of respiratory secretions for patients with pneumonia, and blood and urine for sepsis). The presence of target microorganisms was performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and culture using selective media. The chi-square and Mann-Whitney tests were used for statistical analysis, and the significance level was 5%. The intraoral clinical conditions of the patients showed poor. E. faecalis was significantly more frequent microorganism, followed by E. faecium. The use of broadspectrum antimicrobial action was associated with the presence of these opportunistic microorganisms. These bacteria were more frequent in patients with periodontitis or gingivitis. The results showed that enterococci associated with serious infectious processes may originate from resident microbiota of patients and its prevalence is not elevated in healthy individuals.

Erliquiose canina: revisão de literatura

The hemoparasitosis ehrlichiosis is a disease with high incidence in veterinary clinic routine, which causes damage to animal and human health, thus requiring the rapid and accurate diagnosis for treatment witch consists of specific drugs in particular doxycycline. It is necessary to make a good prevention, to prevent the disease, especially with regard to the control of ticks, since this is the vector of the agent. This review aims to elucidate the details for the canine ehrlichiosis, as a tool to help veterinarians to better understanding of this disease.
