Doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis (doxy-PEP) is a preventative strategy demonstrated to reduce bacterial sexually transmitted infections in high-risk populations. However, the impact of doxy-PEP on antibiotic resistance acquisition in key members of our microbiomes, is as of yet unclear. For example, commensal are known reservoirs of resistance for gonococci through horizontal gene transfer (HGT), and are more likely to experience bystander selection due to doxy-PEP as they are universally carried.

Purpose: Periodontal disease is caused by periodontal invasion by pathogens such as Porphyromonas gingivalis. Although recent metagenomic analyses have shown that oral commensal bacteria are abundant in the mouth of healthy individuals, few studies have experimentally verified the benefits and functions of oral commensal bacteria in periodontal diseases. In this study, we focused on Neisseria among the oral commensal bacteria and aimed to experimentally verify its effects on P.

Considering the significant role of commensal Neisseria carried in the pharynx on the variation of N.meningitidis and the acquisition of its resistance genes, understanding the true Neisseria population colonizing the human pharynx is of great significance. In this study, we carried out a five-month continuous survey of oropharyngeal carriage in a certain healthy population to reveal the long-term carriage status of different Neisseria species.

Article Synopsis
  • Commensal species are commonly found in the oropharynx as part of the healthy microbiome but can also lead to serious diseases like meningococcal disease.
  • Clinical microbiology labs often use MALDI-TOF MS for species identification but can misidentify certain bacteria, which highlights the need for genomic surveillance to verify these results.
  • A study in Belgium analyzed 119 bacterial isolates using genome sequencing and different identification methods, revealing discrepancies in MALDI-TOF MS results and demonstrating the significance of comprehensive genomic analysis for correctly identifying and understanding these species.
