Selective medium for isolation of Eikenella corrodens from periodontal lesions.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The addition of 5 microgram of clindamycin per ml to a modified Todd-Hewitt growth medium permitted the ready enumeration of Eikenella corrodens from deep periodontal lesions because it allowed differential growth amongst the periodontal pocket gram-negative microaerophilic-anaerobic flora, maximized the numbers of E. corrodens in such culture, and inhibited the growth of most of the other confounding microorganisms.

Role of bacterial products in periodontitis: immune response in gnotobiotic rats monoinfected with Eikenella corrodens.
The development of humoral and cell-mediated immune responses to Eikenella corrodens (a bacterium that causes periodontal lesions in gnotobiotic rats) was measured and compared with the rate of appearance of macroscopic lesions. A possible inverse relationship was found. A strong cell-mediated immune response, as measured by skin reactivity and lymphocyte mitogenesis, occurred between 4 and 6 w...
متن کاملSubgingival microbiota from Cebus apella (capuchin monkey) with different periodontal conditions.
This present study evaluated the subgingival microbiota of the Cebus apella with different periodontal conditions kept by the Tufted Capuchin Monkey Procreation Center (São Paulo State University - UNESP) or free-ranging monkeys. For this purpose, clinical specimens of subgingival biofilm were collected from 52 monkeys, of both genders, 40 kept in captivity and 12 free-ranging monkeys. The prim...

متن کاملRate of cultivable subgingival periodontopathogenic bacteria in chronic periodontitis.
Although microbiological studies have identified more than 400 bacterial species in periodontal pockets, only a limited number have been implicated as periodontal pathogens. The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of cultivable subgingival periodontopathogenic bacteria in chronic periodontitis. Bacterial samples were collected with sterile paper points from the deepest period...
متن کاملInterleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-8 are induced in human oral epithelial cells in response to exposure to periodontopathic Eikenella corrodens.
Periodontitis is the inflammatory response in periodontal tissues elicited by bacterial colonization in periodontal pockets. In this response, pocket epithelial cells are the first cells to come into contact with bacteria. To elucidate this mechanism, we determined the adherence of the periodontopathic bacterium Eikenella corrodens 1073, which has a GalNAc-sensitive lectin-like adhesin (EcLS), ...
