Odontogenic infections account for 10% of all antibiotic prescriptions in Spain. Despite the frequency and importance of these infections, there is often confusion between prophylaxis and treatment. The oral cavity is a complex ecosystem made up of over 500 bacterial species. It is essential to take the medical history, examine each infection, and know about previous illnesses that could change our therapeutic and/or prophylactic attitude. The use of prophylaxis with antibiotics in patients at risk of infective endocarditis has been accepted for many years. Nowadays this is being restricted, and in many cases the risks of taking preventive antibiotics outweigh its benefits. There are no serious studies to determine the best antibiotic and its dosage, thus the Spanish consensus guidelines have to be followed. It is not known how the misuse of antibiotics influences bacterial resistance, not only on pathogen strains, but also on the common oral flora.

Participants in the 100,000 Genomes Project (100kGP) could consent to receive additional finding (AF) results, individual variants relating to genes associated with susceptibility to cancer and familial hypercholesterolemia (FH).

Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS), University of Sussex, Brighton, United Kingdom.
Background: Rates of loneliness are substantially higher among autistic compared with nonautistic individuals. This observation refutes the persistent stereotype that autistic individuals are not motivated to seek meaningful social relationships. More plausibly, social environments systematically exclude people with higher levels of sensory differences, impeding on opportunities for autistic individuals to form meaningful relationships.
