Use of a replica‐plate assay for the rapid assessment of salivary protein‐bacteria interactionsWiley - Tập 7 Số 1 - Trang 53-56 - 1992
Chien‐Chi Tseng, Frank A. Scannapieco, Michael J. Levine
A replica‐plate assay was used to screen for the interaction of salivary
molecules with dental plaque bacteria. Bacterial colonies cultured from
supragingival plaque on sheep‐blood (SB) agar were replica‐plated onto
nitrocellulose membranes overlaying SB or mitis‐salivarius agar. Membranes with
attached colonies were removed and incubated with 125I‐amylase or 125I
‐proline‐rich glycoprotein (PRG).... hiện toàn bộ
Prevalence of mutans streptococci in one‐year‐old childrenWiley - Tập 6 Số 5 - Trang 280-283 - 1991
Margaret Grindefjord, Göran Dahllöf, S Wikner, Bengt Höjer, Thomas Modéer
Colonization with mutans streptococci was studied in 1095 1‐year‐old children
living in suburban Stockholm. During a scheduled vaccination appointment at a
child health centre, a bacterial sample was obtained from the child's tongue and
a structured questionnaire was completed by the accompanying parent. Six percent
of the subjects were colonized with mutans streptococci. The variables most

Tetracycline inhibition identifies the cellular origin of interstitial collagenases in human periodontal diseases in vivoWiley - Tập 7 Số 2 - Trang 121-123 - 1992
Kimmo Suomalainen, Timo Sorsa, Tuula Ingman, Otso Lindy, Lorne M. Golub
Mammalian interstitial collagenases (E.C.3.4.24.7) are considered as key
initiators of collagen degradation in periodontal diseases. However, the
cellular sources of collagenases present in gingival crevicular fluid have not
been completely clarified. Resident fibroblasts and epithelial cells as well as
infiltrating neutrophils and monocyte/macrophages are potential sources of the
enzymes. We have... hiện toàn bộ
Adherence to and penetration through endothelial cells by oral treponemesWiley - Tập 14 Số 6 - Trang 379-383 - 1999
Sonja Peters, M Valdez, George R. Riviere, D D Thomas
Oral spirochetes were co‐incubated with monolayers of endothelial cells seeded
into multiwell plates or onto filters mounted in plastic chambers. Attachment
was assessed using an enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay and scanning electron
microscopy. Invasiveness was determined by monitoring media beneath filters
within chambers for spirochetes using darkfield microscopy. Transmission

Antimicrobial susceptibility of major pathogens of orofacial odontogenic infections to 11 β‐lactam antibioticsWiley - Tập 17 Số 5 - Trang 285-289 - 2002
Tomoari Kuriyama, Tadahiro Karasawa, Kiyomasa Nakagawa, Shinichi Nakamura, Erika Yamamoto
In this study, we evaluated the current effectiveness of 11 β‐lactam antibiotics
for treatment of orofacial odontogenic infections by determining the
antimicrobial susceptibility of the major pathogens. The antimicrobial
susceptibilities of viridans streptococci (n = 47), Peptostreptococcus (n = 67),
Porphyromonas (n = 18), Fusobacterium (n = 57), black‐pigmented Prevotella
(n = 59) and non‐pigmen... hiện toàn bộ
Probiotic bacteria affect the composition of salivary pellicle and streptococcal adhesion in vitroWiley - Tập 23 Số 4 - Trang 336-343 - 2008
Anna Haukioja, Vuokko Loimaranta, Jorma Tenovuo
Introduction: The use of probiotic bacteria is increasing worldwide and at
least some of them can transiently colonize the oral cavity. Several studies
have shown that probiotic bacteria, which are often thought of in relation only
to intestinal health, can also affect the oral ecology, but the mechanisms for
this are largely unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate in vitro if
the probi... hiện toàn bộ
Differential gene expression of human β‐defensins (hBD‐1, ‐2, ‐3) in inflammatory gingival diseasesWiley - Tập 20 Số 3 - Trang 186-190 - 2005
Henrik Dommisch, Yahya Açil, Anton Dunsche, Jochen Winter, Søren Jepsen
Antimicrobial peptides, like human β‐defensins, play an important role in the
epithelial innate defense response. The aim of the present study was to
investigate the quantitative expression of human β‐defensin‐1, ‐2, and ‐3 in
inflammatory gingival diseases. Gingival biopsies were obtained from patients
with healthy gingiva (n = 10), patients with gingivitis (n = 10), and patients
with periodontit... hiện toàn bộ
Protective and destructive immune reactions in apical periodontitisWiley - Tập 15 Số 3 - Trang 139-150 - 2000
Ildikó Márton, Csongor Kiss
Apical periodontitis is initiated primarily by the mixed microflora of infected
root canals. Continuous flow of bacteria and their products through the apical
foramen induces influx, activation and coordinated interaction of
immune‐inflammatory cells within the periapical area. Successful mobilization of
host defense mechanisms prevents abundant extraradicular bacterial invasion.
However, anti‐inf... hiện toàn bộ
