background and objectives: anaerobic bacteria are recognized as important pathogens in surgical infections. however, they are the most overlooked microorganisms by the clinic and the laboratory because of the tedious culture techniques with longer turn-around times. the study was aimed to analyze the frequency of anaerobic bacterial surgical infections and their predisposing factors. materials ...

objectives: with side effects of antibiotics taken into consideration, the necessity of antibiotic therapy after simple implant placement procedures is still a subject of debate and the existing literature on this topic is widely controversial. the aim of this study was to assess the effect of postoperative amoxicillin therapy on early colonization of peri-implant sulcus after implant placement...

in this study 100 cases of advanced periodontitis were compared with a control group of 100 persons. the parameters were the depth of the periodontal pockets, radiographic images, presence of inflammatory cells and different types of anaerobic bacteria in the pockets. the depth of pocket was measured by a sterile probe and the presence of inflammatory cells was determined through sterile curett...

materials and methods one hundred ssis specimens were obtained by needle aspiration from purulent material in depth of infected site. these specimens were cultured and incubated in both aerobic and anaerobic condition. for detection of antibiotic susceptibility pattern in aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, we used disk diffusion, agar dilution, and e-test methods. results a total of 194 bacterial ...

Twenty six anaerobes were recovered from 150 deep-seated abscess samples cultured by the proposed two-step combustion-modified candle-jar system and Anoxomat. The degree of growth and colony size were similar in both systems, except for Clostridium difficile. The modified candle-jar system was found to be a sensitive and cost-effective alternative that might be used in resource-limited settings.

conclusions the results of the present study suggest that the presence of fusobacterium species in periodontal pockets is an important risk factor for halitosis. results in total, 26% (n = 13) and 8% (n = 4) samples were positive for fusobacterium species in the halitosis and control groups, respectively, with f. nucleatum present in the greatest proportion in both groups. halitophobia was sign...

the objective of this research was to study the feasibility of a two stage continuous system employing anaerobic-aerobic microbial film for domestic wastewater treatment and the effect of iron on the behavior of sulfate reducing bacteria in anaerobic metabolism. a bench scale system with an anaerobic filter followed by aerobic fixed units used plastic media and was operated in up flow manner wi...
