Bacteriological assortment in oral microbiome of postnatal females

Abstract

In this study, women who had recently given birth were very likely to have dental problems. In girls, 28.1% had dental caries and 27.3% had gingivitis. The number of APOs was also high: LWB was 22.5 percent, PTB was 21.7 percent, and preeclampsia was 11.6%. After giving birth, women with oral problems, poor oral hygiene, or APOs were more likely to have high levels of S. mutans (p0.0001) and S. sobrinus colonisation. Even though S. mutans and S. sobrinus are the most common bacteria that cause cavities, S. mutans was found in only a small number of samples (BK1=0.004%, BK2 and BKC2=0.001%, and BKC1=0.004%) when tested without a culture. Instead, Streptococcus, Yersinia, Haemophilus, Prevotella, Neisseria, Fusobacterium, Gemella, Prevotella, Aggregatibacter, Rothia, Veillonella, Granulicatella, and Actinomyces were found to be most common in females with dental caries and gingivitis. This suggests that these isolates may play a role in causing dental caries. Using the culture-based method, the most common types of bacteria found in the poop of both healthy and postpartum women were Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Enterobacteriaceae, Neisseria, and Lactobacillus. 65.1% of the 267 pregnant women who were tested for Staphylococcus species in culture were found to have it.
