Genomic Differences Associated with Resistance and Virulence in Isolates from Clinical and Environmental Sites.

aeruginosa is a pathogen that causes healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) worldwide. It is unclear whether isolated from the natural environment has the same pathogenicity and antimicrobial resistance potential as clinical strains. In this study, virulence- and resistance-associated genes were compared in 14 genomic sequences of clinical and environmental isolates of using the VFDB, PATRIC, and CARD databases.

Factors Associated with the Extent of Clinical Attachment Loss in Periodontitis: A Multicenter Cross-Sectional Study.

Periodontitis has significant public health implications, affecting individuals' overall health, well-being, and quality of life. This study aimed to assess the risk factors associated with the extent of clinical attachment loss (CAL) in a population diagnosed with periodontitis. Six hundred and sixty-seven patients with different degrees of CAL (mild, n = 223; moderate, n = 256; and advanced, n = 188) were enrolled.

Tooth and periodontal clinical attachment loss are associated with hyperglycemia in patients with diabetes.

Background: Periodontal disease has been associated with diabetes, but there is still controversy on the relationship between periodontal clinical parameters and glycemic control. The purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between blood glucose levels and clinical parameters of periodontal disease in individuals with diabetes.

Methods: A total of 65 individuals with diabetes and 81 individuals without diabetes were included in the study.

[Enteric Gram negative rods and unfermented of glucose bacteria in patients with peri-implant disease].

Introduction: Implants can be colonized by microorganisms from oral biofilms and may affect peri-implant tissues health. Among these bacteria, pathogens typically associated with periodontitis can be found, such as Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Porphyromonas gingivalis, as well as Gram negative enteric bacilli not typically associated with periodontal diseases.

Objective: Superinfecting bacteria were characterized from peri-implant lesions in patients with history of periodontitis.
