Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is a simple and non-invasive agent to arrest caries in children. The purpose of this study is to investigate changes to the oral bacteriome and mycobiome in young children treated with SDF Methods: Plaque samples were collected from 45 children with early childhood caries (ECC). Frequency regimens of SDF were two applications 4 months apart (4M), two applications 6 months apart (6M), and two applications 1 month apart (1M). DNA was extracted and sent to Genome Quebec Innovation Center for library preparation and paired-end Illumina MiSeq PE300 sequencing of the V4 region of bacterial 16S rRNA and fungal ITS1 rRNA genes. Sequencing data was analyzed using QIIME2 2018.11. Results: A total of 195 carious lesions in 44 children were treated at baseline and followed over two subsequent study visits. The overall arrest rates were 77.69% at Visit 2 and 93.61% at Visit 3 respectively. Arrest rates were higher for all lesions after two applications of SDF. The alpha diversity and beta diversity analysis showed no significant differences in the supragingival bacteriome and mycobiome for all three regimens. Taxonomic assignment showed that Streptococcus, Corynebacterium and Actinomyces were the most abundant genera for Bacteria and Candida, Blumeria, and Malassezia were the most abundant genera for Fungi. Streptococcus mutans and Veillonella dispar both showed a decrease in relative abundance, but these changes were a trend and not found to be statistically significant. Candida albicans was highly abundant in all groups regardless of number of visits or regimens. The differential abundance analysis showed significant changes in both bacterial and fungal species, particularly Lactobacillus spp., Bifidobacterium spp. and Candida spp. Our study found a vast diversity of fungal species and differential abundance analysis suggested that SDF treatment may have an effect on the abundance of specific fungi. Conclusion: SDF was an effective modality for arresting dental caries with higher arrest rates for all lesions after two applications of SDF. Further studies with a larger sample size are needed to confirm whether the presence or absence of various bacterial and fungal species are the result of SDF application at various frequencies.

Download or read book Antibacterial Agents written by Ranjith Kumavath and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2017-05-31 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New drugs are frequently entering into the market along with the existing drugs. The antibacterial agents can be discussed in five major classes, i.e. classification based on the type of action, source, spectrum of activity, chemical structure and function. Resistance of bacteria to antibiotics is an urgent problem of the humanity, which leads us to the lack of therapy for serious bacterial infections. Development of new antibiotics has almost ceased in the last decades - even when a new antibiotic is launched, very soon the resistance of bacteria appears. Industrial textiles exposed as awnings, screens, tents; upholstery used in large public areas such as hospitals, hotels and stations; fabrics for transports; protective clothing and personal protective equipment; bed sheets and blankets; textiles left wet between processing steps; intimate apparel, underwear, socks and sportswear, disinfection of air and water for white rooms, hospitals and operating theatres, food and pharma industries, water depuration, drinkable water supplying and air conditioning systems. Many clinicians recommend alternative approaches to using antimicrobial substances. Moreover, the majority of bioagents demonstrate on antibiotics for treatment of a wide range of diseases in human sectors. However, the misuse and mishandling of drugs lead to microbial, particularly bacterial, resistance as well as result in the difficulty of treating microbial diseases. Hence, the proposed book will give more precise information on novel antibacterial compound(s).

Download or read book Microbial Transmission written by Fernando Baquero and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-07-10 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microbial transmission, the processes by which microbes transit to new environments, is a significant and broad-reaching concept with applications throughout the biological sciences. This collection of reviews, edited by an international team of experts studying and working across a range of disciplines, explores transmission not just as an idea in disease but as a fundamental biological process that acts in all domains of nature and exerts its force on disparate size scales, from the micro to the macro, and across units of time as divergent as a single bacterial replication cycle and the entire course of evolution. In five sections, this overview Defines the concept of transmission and covers basic processes of transmission, including causality, control strategies, fitness costs, virulence, and selection Presents numerous combinations of transmission scenarios across the bacterial, animal, and human interface Examines transmission as the defining characteristic of infectious disease Presents methods for experimentally verifying and quantifying transmission episodes Concludes with important theoretical and modeling approaches Anyone studying or working in microbial colonization, evolution, pathogenicity, antimicrobial resistance, or public health will benefit from a deeper understanding of Microbial Transmission.
Download or read book The Human Superorganism written by Rodney Dietert, PhD and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-07-12 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Eyeopening... Fascinating... may presage a paradigm shift in medicine.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Teeming with information and big ideas... Outstanding.” —Booklist (starred review) The origin of asthma, autism, Alzheimer's, allergies, cancer, heart disease, obesity, and even some kinds of depression is now clear. Award-winning researcher on the microbiome, professor Rodney Dietert presents a new paradigm in human biology that has emerged in the midst of the ongoing global epidemic of noncommunicable diseases. The Human Superorganism makes a sweeping, paradigm-shifting argument. It demolishes two fundamental beliefs that have blinkered all medical thinking until very recently: 1) Humans are better off as pure organisms free of foreign microbes; and 2) the human genome is the key to future medical advances. The microorganisms that we have sought to eliminate have been there for centuries supporting our ancestors. They comprise as much as 90 percent of the cells in and on our bodies—a staggering percentage! More than a thousand species of them live inside us, on our skin, and on our very eyelashes. Yet we have now significantly reduced their power and in doing so have sparked an epidemic of noncommunicable diseases—which now account for 63 percent of all human deaths. Ultimately, this book is not just about microbes; it is about a different way to view humans. The story that Dietert tells of where the new biology comes from, how it works, and the ways in which it affects your life is fascinating, authoritative, and revolutionary. Dietert identifies foods that best serve you, the superorganism; not new fad foods but ancient foods that have made sense for millennia. He explains protective measures against unsafe chemicals and drugs. He offers an empowering self-care guide and the blueprint for a revolution in public health. We are not what we have been taught. Each of us is a superorganism. The best path to a healthy life is through recognizing that profound truth.

Download or read book The Root Canal Biofilm written by Luis E. Chávez de Paz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-20 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the current state of research on the basic scientific aspects of root canal biofilm biology within a clinically applicable context. Root canal biofilms are complex polymicrobial structures adhering to the root canal surface that are formed by microorganisms invading the pulpal space of teeth, and are associated with persistent root canal infections. Concerted efforts to study root canal biofilms have been made in the past decade, resulting in the publication of observational and experimental studies that detail the morphology and biology of these structures in infected root canals. In addition to confirming that bacteria in root canals do not exist in free-floating planktonic states as previously assumed, this new information on root canal biofilm infections has provided an opportunity to re-evaluate conventional clinical protocols and improve endodontic therapeutic measures.
