Influence of oral conditions on colonization by highly toxigenic Staphylococcus aureus strains

Abstract: These data confirm that the oral cavity is an important site of S. aureus colonization and demonstrate that conditions modifying the oral environment, as the presence of periodontitis and of fixed prosthetic restorations, promote S. aureus carriage and may favor the spread of more pathogenic strains.

“…These atypical pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and different members of the family Enterobacteriaceae, are known to possess virulence factors that could account for the accelerated tissue destruction characterizing GAP. Recent studies by our group have shown higher Staphylococcus aureus oral carriage rates in periodontitis affected patients as compared to healthy controls (8). Moreover, we showed that isolation of S. aureus from subgingival sites of GAP positively correlates with disease progression, with higher levels of inflammatory mediators and with faster periodontal breakdown (9).…”

“…Among sites that are frequently colonized by S. aureus, the oral cavity (7,8) is actually receiving attention also as the reservoir for different types of infections (9). We have recently shown that patients affected by periodontal disease, host S. aureus in their mouth at higher rates than subjects who are periodontally healthy, and that S. aureus strains isolated from periodontally affected patients are more toxigenic than those isolated from healthy subjects (10). Those experiments were aimed at evaluating the effect of changing oral conditions on the status of S. aureus oral carrier and on the possibility that these conditions could promote the diffusion of severe systemic infections.…”
