To identify the prevalence of C. albicans in primary endodontic infections of type two diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients and compare their clinical and radiographical characteristics with a non-diabetic control group, establishing the possible relationship between primary endodontic infection, T2DM, and C. albicans, since diabetes mellitus (DM), influences the development, course, and response to the treatment of apical periodontitis, but the presence of Candida albicans (C.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the frequency of antimicrobial resistance genes in root canal samples from patients in Mexico, focusing on those with primary infections versus those with post-treatment diseases.
- Researchers analyzed samples from 64 patients and found that specific resistance genes, particularly bla, ermC, and tetM, were more prevalent in the post-treatment disease group, along with a higher occurrence of certain bacteria like Enterococcus spp. and Porphyromonas endodontalis.
- Ultimately, all samples contained at least one resistance gene, with a significant portion harboring multiple genes, indicating a concerning diversity and prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in root canal infections.
