Coaggregation efficacy of selected strains with clinical isolates and in the presence of other salivary bacteria was determined by flow cytometry. Brightfield and confocal microscopy were applied to characterize the size and structure of coaggregates.

The coaggregation capability of the selected Lactobacillus strains was unique and could not be reproduced with other genetically similar lactic acid bacteria of the same species.Conclusion: Lactobacillus strains capable of coaggregating oral pathogens were identified as promising candidates for the development of new postbiotic ingredients for oral hygiene products.","PeriodicalId":16598,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Oral Microbiology","volume":"17 1","pages":"2508483"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12123943/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144199424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meanwhile, nitrate supplementation has shown promise as a prebiotic that induces positive effects on the oral microbiome.Methods: In this pilot study, the impact of nitrate supplementation as a countermeasure to e-cigarette usage was explored using in vitro growth and 16S rRNA analysis of microcosms derived from e-cigarette users and nonusers and supplementation with nitrate-rich beetroot juice extract.Results: The impacts of e-cigarette usage and beetroot supplementation were somewhat limited, with beetroot juice extract supplementation having a significant impact on diversity according to some, but not all, diversity metrics examined. The saliva of the e-cigarette users was depleted in nitrate-reducing Neisseria spp. In terms of differentially abundant individual taxa, the addition of beetroot juice extract to the saliva-derived microcosms had a larger impact on the communities derived from the e-cigarette users compared to that of the nonusers.Conclusions: Overall, this limited pilot study suggests that beetroot juice extract supplementation may impact the microbiota of e-cigarette users and adds to contemporary research paving the way for more in-depth studies examining the role of nitrate-rich supplements as prebiotics to promote oral health.","PeriodicalId":16598,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Oral Microbiology","volume":"17 1","pages":"2509669"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12107659/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144159544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During local anesthesia in dental treatments, the risk of postoperative infections increases if the oral mucosa is infected, the anesthesia injection site is inadequately disinfected, or the injection needle and anesthetic drugs are contaminated.

Safety assessments were conducted on the selected target compounds. Additionally, the antibacterial mechanisms of the compounds were investigated through molecular dynamics simulations and cryo-electron microscopy.Results: Through the screening of articaine derivatives, a novel local anesthetic, AT-15, was identified, which combines effective anesthetic properties with antibacterial activity. This compound exhibits strong pharmacological activity and high safety. Its antibacterial effect is believed to result from the disruption of bacterial cell membranes and the inhibition of topoisomerase, an enzyme essential for bacterial DNA synthesis.Conclusion: AT-15 discovered in this study is a promising candidate for further development in clinical settings.","PeriodicalId":16598,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Oral Microbiology","volume":"17 1","pages":"2502455"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12068334/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143988801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Significant differences were also observed in the gut microbiota composition between patients before treatment and healthy participants, irrespective of the ectopic colonization of periodontitis-associated bacteria in the gut. Co-abundance group analysis demonstrated that the gut microbiota of healthy participants was enriched with short-chain fatty acid producers. Changes in the gut microbiota coincided with alterations in the serum metabolite profile. While periodontal therapy improved salivary microbiota, it did not significantly affect gut microbiota.Conclusions: Gut dysbiosis of periodontitis patients may impact systemic metabolite profiles.

Most severe disturbances were seen in explants grown in media containing H. pylori cell lysates, which were made from stationary growth-phase cultures, with high optical density.
