Microbial contamination profile change over a 4‐year period in nonoperated cleft soft palate

Abstract: Aims: Surgical site infection is a major concern in cleft soft palate. Knowledge of the type, number and antimicrobial resistance of pathogens present preoperatively contribute to treatment success. The aim of this study is to determine whether or not the microbial contamination (diversity) preoperatively has changed since 2015. Methods and Results: Swabs were taken from the surgical site in 103 consecutive patients who presented for primary repair of the soft palate cleft. These were sent for microscopy, cult… Show more

“…Other studies sampled from part or all of the palate and the nasopharynx or oro-nasopharynx have identified H. influenzae , S. aureus , and S. viridans as being prevalent and K . pneumoniae as being moderately prevalent at these sites ( Mÿburgh and Bütow, 2009 ; Roode et al., 2017 ; Roode and Bütow, 2018 ; Ramdial and Madaree, 2019 ; Roode et al., 2022 ). Interestingly, Narinesingh et al.…”

“…Many studies ( Chuo and Timmons, 2005 ; Mÿburgh and Bütow, 2009 ; Narinesingh et al., 2011 ; Thomas et al., 2012 ; Bos et al., 2016 ; Roode et al., 2017 ; Roode and Bütow, 2018 ; Ramdial and Madaree, 2019 ; Roode et al., 2022 ) have examined the pharyngeal mucosa in combination with that of the ear, nose, and the palate or palatal cleft ( Supplementary Table S5 ). Two publications ( Narinesingh et al., 2011 ; Thomas et al., 2012 ) evaluating nasal and/or pharyngeal samples and one publication ( Chuo and Timmons, 2005 ) evaluating ear, nose, and throat mucosa samples reported S. aureus as prevalent in CL/P subjects.…”
