Objectives The aim of this study was to identify the prevalence of genes encoding resistance
to three groups of antimicrobial agents in root canal samples from primary infection or post …

INTRODUCTION: The presence of antibiotic resistance genes in endodontic
microorganisms might render the infection resistant to common antibiotics. The aims of this …

Objective The purpose of this study was twofold: survey samples from acute and chronic
endodontic infections for the presence of genes encoding resistance to beta-lactams …

Background: Antimicrobial resistance is currently considered the main risk to global health.
A variety of microbial species have been isolated from endodontic and periodontal …

Enterococcus faecalis, a commensal of the intestinal tract of humans and animals is of great
significance as leading opportunistic pathogen, and also prevalent in oral diseases, such as …

Introduction The oral cavity is the main source of microorganisms for odontogenic infections.
It is important to perform an extensive analysis regarding the reports on the presence of …

The objective of this review was to assess the prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes in
the oral cavity and identify mobile genetic elements (MGEs) important in disseminating them …

Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of bla TEM and nim genes
that encode resistance to β-lactams and nitroimidazoles, respectively, in the oral cavity of …

Resistance in streptococci or Gram-negative bacteria is associated with antibiotic
consumption. Scarce information exists on the antibiotic susceptibility of bacterial isolates …

Fourty-one bacterial strains isolated from infected dental root canals and identified by 16S
rRNA gene sequence were screened for the presence of 14 genes encoding resistance to …
