Efeito da pigmentação extrínseca nas cerâmicas à base de dissilicato de lítio submetidas aos processos de desgaste e biodegradação nas propriedades mecânicas e aderência bacteriana

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar se há alteração no comportamento mecânico e na aderência microbiológica da cerâmica à base de dissilicato de lítio com a técnica de pigmentação extrínseca aplicada, após ser submetida a diferentes condições experimentais. Foram confeccionadas 160 amostr...

Influence of the incorporation of triclosan methacrylate on the physical properties and antibacterial activity of resin composite

J. appl. oral sci; 27 (), 2019
Abstract The incorporation of antimicrobials in the composites as an attempt to reduce bacterial adhesion without jeopardizing mechanical properties is a challenge for Dentistry. Objective: To evaluate the bacterial adhesion and physical properties of a composite containing the methacrylate triclosan- d...

Probiotics study with Streptococcus salivarius and its ability to produce bacteriocins and adherence to KB cells

Abstract Introduction Streptococcus salivarius is a dominant oral species and the best suitable candidate for probiotic of the oral cavity. Since Streptococcus salivarius is able to produce bacteriocins against Streptococcus pyogenes interest has been focused on the use of it as a probiotic to avoid sor...

Molecular analysis, biofilm formation, and susceptibility of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus strains causing community- and health care-associated infections in central venous catheters

Abstract INTRODUCTION: The behavior of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolated from central venous catheter-related infection was evaluated to determine its biofilm potential, antimicrobial resistance, and adhesion genes. METHODS: A total of 1,156 central venous catheters (CVC) we...

In vitro antimicrobial effect of bioadhesive oral membrane with chlorhexidine gel

Braz. dent. j; 29 (4), 2018
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate in vitro the antimicrobial effect of a bioadhesive chitosan-based oral membrane with chlorhexidine for local treatment of infections in the oral tissues. Five oral membranes of different compositions were tested: 5% chitosan (G1); 5% chitosan ± 0.2% chlorhexidine (G...

A persistência intracelular de Escherichia coli enteroagregativa induz a secreção de citocinas pró-inflamatórias em células epiteliais intestinais T84

Arq. gastroenterol; 55 (2), 2018
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The competence of enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) to adhere to the intestinal epithelium of the host is a key role to the colonization and disease development. The virulence genes are crucial for EAEC pathogenicity during adherence, internalization and persistence in the h...

Evaluation antibacterial and antibiofilm activity of the antimicrobial peptide P34 against Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 90 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT The adhesion ability of bacteria to abiotic surfaces has important implications in food industries, because these organisms can survive for long periods through the biofilm formation. They can be transferred from one place to another in the industry causing contamination of the food processing e...

Produção de biofilme na presença de agentes antimicrobianos e potencial de virulência para Caenorhabditis elegans de diferentes biótipos de Staphylococcus haemolyticus isolados de sangue
Biofilm production in the presence of antimicrobial agents and virulence potential for Caenorhabditis elegans from different strains of Staphylococcus haemolyticus isolated from blood

Os Staphylococcus coagulase-negativos (SCN) são encontrados na pele e mucosas de seres humanos e outros animais, já que algumas espécies são parte constituinte da microbiota normal destes mesmos sítios, e podem constituir um reservatório para SCN. Staphylococcus haemolyticus é a segunda espécie, ...

Adhesion and invasion of Clostridium perfringens type A into epithelial cells

Braz. j. microbiol; 48 (4), 2017
ABSTRACT Clostridium perfringens is the causative agent for necrotic enteritis. It secretes the major virulence factors, and α- and NetB-toxins that are responsible for intestinal lesions. The TpeL toxin affects cell morphology by producing myonecrosis, but its role in the pathogenesis of necrotic e...

Rev. chil. infectol; 34 (5), 2017
Resumen Introducción: Los alimentos de origen animal frecuentemente están implicados en brotes de salmonelosis. Objetivo: Evaluar la frecuencia de Salmonella enterica en carnes molidas de pollo, res y cerdo (un total de 2.592 muestras) obtenidas de mercados sobre ruedas y supermercados de la Delegaci...
