“…5 Foregoing studies have demonstrated that in retaliation to pernicious root canal microflora particularly bacteria, the diabetic host may mature with more consequential infections. 4 When the diabetic and non-diabetic population is compared, patients with diabetes mellitus and periapical lesion have shown notably diminished healing succeeding endodontic therapy. 6 Hence, this study aims to isolate obligate anaerobes and facultative anaerobes from root canal of non-vital teeth in diabetic (Type II) and non-diabetic patients.…”

Introduction: The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare the anaerobic microflora (obligate and facultative) of the root canals of non vital teeth with periapical lesions, in diabetic (Type II) and non-diabetic patients. Methods: Access cavity preparation and collection of necrotic pulp tissue samples was done aseptically with the help of absorbent paper points placed in the canal for 60 seconds. Samples were processed anaerobically and were subjected to microbiological analysis using culture techniques for the evaluation of microbial flora. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between mean and SD values of obligate and facultative anaerobes in diabetic (Type II) and non-diabetic groups when all parameters are compared (p<0.0001) using one-way ANOVA. Comparison of groups was done by applying Student's Unpaired 't' test. Obligate anaerobes were significantly more associated with cases of Type II diabetes mellitus, suggesting a role of these microorganisms in modulating the inflammatory and immunologic responses as well as its level in root canal infections which can have an influence on the pain threshold of patient. Conclusion: There were significant differences in the values of microorganisms found in Diabetic (Type II) and non diabetic patients

“…Comparatively, anaerobic bacteria of the genus Peptostreptococcus, Bacteroides, Propionibacterium and Fusobacterium are often associated (19)(20)(21)(22)(23). These species belong to the same category of anaerobes commonly found in clinical specimens (24,26,27). Many of these species produce beta-lactamase and harbour antibiotic resistant genes that may contribute to drug failure (28)(29)(30)(31).…”

Otitis media is a global disease with severe health, social and economic burdens. In Nigeria, there are limited data on the profile of anaerobic species associated with the categories of otitis media. The focus of most laboratory diagnosis for otitis media has been on aerobic organisms, the very few that considered anaerobes often use unsuitable standard anaerobic techniques that often lead to misdiagnosis. In other to prevent antibiotic resistance, treatment failure, recurrent infection and associated complication in cases of patients with otitis media, proper laboratory techniques should be utilized to ascertain the pathogens hence, anaerobes should not be overlooked. This review therefore underscores the standard methods of anaerobic techniques being utilized in the laboratory diagnosis of otitis media in Nigeria.

“…Anaerobic organisms are aetiologic agents of serious infections in human and have been documented to be the major causative agents of otitis media, oro-dental infections, puerperal sepsis, lung abscesses and intra-abdominal sepsis 1 2 . Culture and isolation of these organisms are not easy due to their fastidious nature.…”
