RESUMO

Clostridioides difficile is an opportunistic spore-forming pathogen responsible for antibiotic-associated diarrhea in humans. C. difficile produces two main toxins: TcdA and TcdB as well as a third toxin named binary toxin (CDT) that is also involved in virulence. The present study aimed at characterizing the C. difficile isolate ALCD3 involved in a relapse episode of nosocomial infection. Molecular characterization showed that isolate ALCD3 belongs to toxinotype 0/v and the MLST analysis demonstrated allelic profile adk:91, atpA:1, dxr:2, glyA: 1, recA:27, sodA: 1 and tpi:1 which corresponds to ST293 (MLST clade: 1). During growth, isolate ALCD3 showed an early increase in the sporulation ratio as well as maximal values of heat resistant forms after 2 days of incubation. Both sporulation kinetics and production of heat resistant forms were faster for isolate ALCD3 than for the reference strain VPI 10463. Germination in the presence of the natural germinant taurocholate was faster for isolate ALCD3 than for strain VPI 10463, which indicates that isolate ALCD3 starts cortex hydrolysis earlier than strain VPI 10463. Furthermore, the co-germinant glycine, induces rapid release of dipicolinic acid (DPA) in isolate ALCD3. These findings indicate that isolate ALCD3 is particularly efficient in both sporulation and germination. The present work represents the first report of the circulation of C. difficile ST293 in Argentina. The ability of isolate ALCD3 to produce toxins and its high sporulation/germination capacity are key features compatible with a microorganism with high dissemination potential and the possibility of inducing recurrent infections.

RESUMO

Resumen Clostridioides difficile es un patógeno esporulado oportunista responsable de diarrea asociada a antibióticos en humanos. C. difficile produce 2 toxinas principales: TcdAy TcdB, además de la toxina binaria (CDT), también asociada a la virulencia. Este estudio buscó caracterizar el aislamiento ALCD3, involucrado en un episodio de recurrencia de una infección nosocomial. La caracterización molecular mostró que dicho aislamiento pertenece al toxinotipo 0/v y el análisis por MLST demostró un perfil alélico adk:91, atpA:1, dxr:2, glyA: 1, recA:27, sodA: 1 y tpi:1, lo cual corresponde al ST293 (MLST clado 1). Durante el crecimiento, el aislamiento ALCD3 mostró un incremento temprano de la tasa de esporulación y valores máximos de formas termorresistentes luego de 2 días de incubación. Tanto la cinética de esporulación como la producción de formas termorresistentes fueron más rápidas en el aislamiento ALCD3 que en la cepa de referencia VPI 10463. La germinación en presencia del germinante natural taurocolato fue más rápida en el aislamiento ALCD3 que en la cepa VPI 10463, lo que indica que aquel comienza la hidrólisis del córtex antes. También, el co-germinante glicina indujo una rápida liberación de ácido dipicolínico en ALCD3. Estos hallazgos indican que el aislamiento ALCD3 es particularmente eficiente en la esporulación y en la germinación. El presente trabajo representa el primer informe de la circulación de C. difficile ST293 en Argentina. La habilidad del aislamiento ALCD3 para producir toxinas y su alta capacidad de esporulación/germinación son características claves compatibles con un alto potencial de diseminación e inducción de infecciones recurrentes.

RESUMO

Chronic Periodontitis is the most prevalent form of periodontal disease. The subgingival microflora has been associated with the onset and progression of the disease. The aim of this work was to establish associations and correlations between clinical indicators and subgingival plaque microbiological data in patients diagnosed with moderate or severe Periodontitis. One hundred sites with a probing depth of > or = 5 mm were selected. Plaque Index (PI), Gingival Index (GI), Bleeding on Probing (BP), Probing Depth (PD) and Clinical Attachment Level (CAL) were measured. The subgingival plaque microbiological assay comprised cultures in selective and non-selective media and identification tests for Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), Prevotella intermedia/nigrescens (Pi/n), Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (Aa), Fusobacterium (F) and Peptostreptococcus micros (Pm). Dark field microscopy was used to analyze the relative proportions of Treponema to the total microbial morphotypes. Small Treponeina (ST), Medium Treponema (MT), Large Treponema (LT) and Total Treponema (TT) were determined. Our results showed associations and a correlation between PD and AL, r = 0.62 (p<.0001); PD and Pg X2 = 15.22, r = 0.39 (p<.001); AL and Pg X2 = 10.72, r = 0.32 (p<.001). A negative correlation was observed between Pg and Pi/n X2 = 12.65, r = -0.35 (p<.001); BP and F X2 = 8.93; GI and F X2 = 8.92. The present results reveal associations and correlations between some clinical indicators and subgingival plaque microorganisms in patients diagnosed with Chronic Periodontitis.

RESUMO

El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar "in vitro" la capacidad antiséptica del paramonoclorofenol alcanforado (PMCFA), usado como antiséptico entre sesiones, frente a seis microorganismos frecuentemente aislados de la microbiota endodóntica. Se instrumentaron 36 piezas dentarias extraídas hastas una lima #20 que sobrepasó el foramen apical. Se diseñó un método de laboratorio para medir la acción antiséptica de los vapores del PMCFA, colocados en torundas de algodón en la cámara pulpar de las piezas dentarias preparadas, evaluándose la eficacia del antiséptico, midiendo la velocidad bactericida, realizando recuentos del inóculo a las o hs, 24 hs y 72 horas. En las condiciones del ensayo, el PMCFA mostró eficaz acción bactericida frente a microorganismos anaeróbicos. No se observó actividad bactericida frente a Cándida albicans y Enterococcus faecalis, aunque no hubo incremento en el número de colonias vivas

RESUMO

La periodontitis crónica es la forma más prevalente de enfermedad periodontal. La microflora subgingival ha sido relacionada con la iniciación y progresión de la enfermedad. El objetivo de este trabajo fue asociar y correlacionar los indicadores clínicos y los estudios microbiológicos de placa subgingival en pacientes con periodontitis crónica moderada y severa. Se seleccionaron 100 sitios en 25 pacinetes (17 no fumadores y 8 fumadores) con profundidad al soandaje (PS) <- 5 mm. en los que se realizó: índice de placa (IP), índice gingival (IG), índice de sangrado al sondaje (SS), profundidad de sondaje (PS) y nivel de inserción clínica (NIC). El estudio microbiológico de placa subgingival se realizó por cultivos en medios selectivos y no selectivos y pruebas para la identificación de Porphyromonas gingivalis (Ps), Prevotella intermedia/nigrescens (Pi/n), Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (a), Fusobacterium (F) y Peptostreptococcus micros(Pm). La microscopía de fondo oscuro (MFO) fue utlizada para analizar las proporciones relativas de morfotipos microbianos. Los resultados mostraron asociación y correlación significativa entre PS y PgX2 = 15,22, r = 0,39 (p<.001); NI y Pg X2 = 10,72, r = 0,32 (p<.001); SS y F X2 = 8,93, r = -0,30. Pg y Pi/n X2 = 12,65, r = -0,33 (p<.001). Los resultados muestran asociaciones y correlaciones entre algunos indicadores clínicos y microorganismos de placa subgingival en pacientes con periodontitis crónica.
