Aims: To compare the apical extrusion of Enterococcus faecalis after instrumentation with three different Ni-Ti rotary instruments- An in vitro study.
Settings And Design: In vitro study Methods and Material: Forty freshly extracted mandibular premolars were mounted in bacteria collection apparatus and root canals were contaminated with a suspension of Enterococcus faecalis. The contaminated teeth were divided into 4 groups of 10 teeth each according to rotary system used for instrumentation: Group1: Hyflex files, Group 2: GTX files, Group 3: Protaper files and Group 4: control group (no instrumentation). Bacteria extruded after preparations were collected into vials and microbiological samples were incubated in BHI broth for 24 hrs. The colony forming units were determined for each sample.
Statistical Analysis Used: Statistical analysis was done using one way ANOVA followed by post hoc independent " t" test.
Results: GTX files extruded least amount of bacteria followed by Hyflex files. Maximum extrusion of E. faecalis was seen in rotary Protaper group.
Conclusion: Least amount of extrusion was seen with GTX files followed by Hyflex files and then rotary Protaper system.

Unlabelled: Guanosine triphosphate (GTP) is essential for macromolecular biosynthesis, and its intracellular levels are tightly regulated in bacteria. Loss of the alarmone (p)ppGpp disrupts GTP regulation in , causing cell death in the presence of exogenous guanosine and underscoring the critical importance of GTP homeostasis. To investigate the basis of guanosine toxicity, we performed a genetic selection for spontaneous mutations that suppress this effect, uncovering an unexpected link between GTP synthesis and glycolysis.

Background: Periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) are one of the most devastating complications of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Patients who have chronic kidney disease (CKD) are more vulnerable to PJI. We aimed to answer the following questions: 1) What are the commonly observed pathogens in PJI after TKA in CKD patients, and do they differ from those in non-CKD patients? and 2) What are the risk factors for PJI after TKA in CKD patients?
Methods: Patients who underwent surgery due to a chronic PJI of the TKA were retrospectively enrolled.
