The Prevalent Bacterial Isolates Of Dental Caries In School Age Children Attending The Dental Clinic Of Oauthc, Ile-Ife

Abstract

The study was conducted at the dental clinic of Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital Complex, Ile-Ife. A total of 100 carious samples were collected from children of varying age and sexes. The bacteria isolated were S. mutans: 45.6%, Lactobacillus spp: 41.2% and S. aureus: 13.2%. Out of the 100 samples, 88(5) had mixed growth of bacteria and the common bacteria combinations were S. mutans and Lactobacillus spp.(43.2%) , S. mutans and.S. aureus (38.6%) and Lactocillus spp and S. aureus (18.2%)The distribution pattern of dental caries in relation to gender showed a higher frequency in females than males with the initiator S. mutans having 565.8% in female and 44.2% in males. The organisms appear to be more prevalent in children of 6-10 years considering the initiator S. mutans being 73.1% while ages 1-5 years were least affected with 5.8%. prevalence. Pefloxacin, Chloramphenicol, Ceftriaxone and Ciprofloxacin are most effective against the caries-inducing organisms with an average susceptibility range of 76.1% to 92.2%.

Bacterial Profile, Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern, and Associated Factors among Dental Caries‐Suspected Patients Attending the Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital and Private Dental Clinic in Mekelle, Northern Ethiopia

“…In the current study, the predominant isolate bacteria were Streptococcus mutans with 46.4%. The findings of this study were consistent with other studies conducted in Nigeria (45.6%) [ 16 ] and Nepal (43.7%) [ 38 ]. And the current study shows more Streptococcus mutant isolate than the previous studies conducted in India (22.8%), Nepal (40%) [ 30 , 37 ], and Nigeria (18.7%) [ 15 ].…”

“…In other contrast, this finding was lower than the study done in Debre Birhan (68.7%) [25]. Other than S. mutans isolate, our study shows 35.2% prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus which is higher than other studies conducted in Nepal (31.6%) and Nigeria (28.9%) [15,16,38]. The difference might be due to the methodology, socioeconomic backgrounds, dietary behaviors, and differences in knowledge and practice regarding the tooth brushing habit.…”

“…The prevalence of dental caries was reported as 24.1% in Africa, 63.3% in Nigeria, 45.6% in China, and 65% in Kenya [15][16][17][18][19]. The main reason attributed for this high prevalence rate is because of a lack of knowledge, poor oral hygiene, and poor disease prevention methods [20,21].…”

Therapeutically Active Marine Sponge Isolated from Rameshwaram Thoppu Kaadu Theevu against MDR Pathogen Lactobacillus acidophilus Isolated from Childhood Caries

“…: 41.2% and S. aureus: 13.2%. Their studies the researcher conclude that the antibiotic Ceftriaxone, Ciprofloxacin, Perfloxacin and Chloramphenicol are the most successful besides the caries-inducing organisms with a standard vulnerability series of 76.1% to 92.2% [17]. This result mismatched with the present invent found that the isolated 20 Lactobacillus spp.…”

Structural, Surface, in vitro Bacterial Adhesion and Biofilm Formation Analysis of Three Dental Restorative Composites

“…In this study, adhesion profiles of three bacterial ( Pseudomonas aerigunosa , Staphylococcus aureus and Eschereshia coli ) strains have been tested against three relatively newly developed commercial dental restorative materials. Two of these strains ( Pseudomonas aerigunosa and Staphylococcus aureus ) are linked to biofilm formation on dental materials and the natural tooth surface and they are associated with incidences of primary and secondary caries development [ 11 , 20 , 21 ]. Escherichia coli can be remotely involved in progression of dental diseases, especially in patients with chronic gastritis and acid reflux [ 22 ].…”
