Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus HD100 on experimental periodontitis (EP) in rats.
Methods: Thirty-two rats were divided into four groups: control, C-HD100 (B. bacteriovorus), EP, and EP-HD100.
Background: This study evaluated the effects of systemic administration of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis HN019 (B. lactis HN019) on experimental periodontitis (EP) in rats.

In total, 32 rats were assigned into groups (n=8): C (control), EP, EP-PROB/Water, and EP-PROB/Milk.

Methods: Thirty-two rats were divided into groups C (control), EP, C-HD100, and EP-HD100. At day 0, animals of groups EP and EP-HD100 received cotton ligatures around mandibular first molars (MFM).

Lactobacillus probiotics have been investigated in periodontitis. However, the effects of the genus Bifidobacterium on periodontitis are hardly known. This study evaluated the effects of the probiotic (PROB) Bifidobacterium animalis subsp.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: This study evaluates effects of topical administration of probiotic bacteria of the genus Bifidobacterium on experimental periodontitis (EP) in rats.
Methods: Thirty-two rats were divided into groups C (control; without EP), EP (EP only), C-HN019 (control+probiotic), and EP-HN019 (EP+probiotic). On day 0 of the experiment, animals of groups EP and EP-HN019 received cotton ligatures around mandibular first molars (MFMs).
Objectives: The purposes of this study were to evaluate, in rats: i) the effects of Bacillus species on the development of experimental periodontitis (EP) via microtomographic, immunological and hematological assays (Experiment 1-E1); ii) the effects of Bacillus species as adjuncts to scaling and root planing (SRP) for the treatment of EP via histomorphometric and immunohistochemical analyses (Experiment 2-E2).
Methods: In E1, 24 rats were divided into groups C1 (control), PROB1, EP1 and EP-PROB1. In groups with EP, the mandibular first molar of each animal received a ligature for 14 days.
Background: This study evaluates the effects of probiotic therapy (PT) in rats with ligature-induced periodontitis associated with restraint stress.
Methods: Sixty-four rats were divided into control, stress (STR), probiotic (PROB), periodontal disease (PD), STR-PROB, STR-PD, STR-PROB-PD, and PROB-PD groups. The probiotic was added to the drinking water for 44 days.
Background: With increase in the incidence of resistance to antibiotics, probiotics are emerging as a promising adjunctive periodontal therapy. The authors of this study evaluate the influence of probiotic (PROB) supplementation on ligature-induced periodontitis (LIP) and intestinal morphology in rats.
Methods: Thirty-two rats were randomly divided into four groups: control (C), LIP, PROB, and LIP/PROB.

This study compared the effect of different diets on the biochemical composition (lipids, cholesterol, proteins and glycogen) and the levels of lipoperoxidation and activity of Na(+)/K(+)ATPase of Hyalella castroi. We also investigated some patterns of the life cycle including survival, precopulatory mating pairs and number of ovigerous females after 21 days of culture with different diets. These crustaceans live in limnetic environments of the plateau (1,200 m a.
