SARS-CoV-2 is an oral pathogen that infects and replicates in mucosal and salivary epithelial cells, contributing to oral post-acute sequelae COVID-19 (PASC) and other oral and non-oral pathologies. While pre-existing inflammatory oral diseases provides a conducive environment for the virus, acute infection and persistence of SARS-CoV-2 can also results in oral microbiome dysbiosis that further worsens poor oral mucosal health. Indeed, oral PASC includes periodontal diseases, dysgeusia, xerostomia, pharyngitis, oral keratoses, and pulpitis suggesting significant bacterial contributions to SARS-CoV-2 and oral tissue tropism.

While the prolonged consumption of sucrose-containing beverages is known to impact many organs, their specific effects on the small intestine remain elusive. This study aimed to evaluate how regular intake of sucrose, in amounts typically consumed, affects goblet cells, which play a critical role in regulating the mucosal barrier and innate immune defenses in the small intestine. Ten-week-old male ddY mice, a model of diet-induced obesity, were given a regular diet with either plain water or 7% sucrose water.

Background: Chlorhexidine digluconate (CHG) is considered the most effective and safe antimicrobial agent in dentistry. Recently, it has often been produced in the form of preparations with additional substances that may modify its effect.
Objectives: The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of various simple and combined CHG rinses against selected bacterial and yeast strains.
