Abstract

Background: Streptococcus mutans are gram positive bacteria classified into viridians group, and have a role in pathogenesis of dental caries. It’s adhesion to the tooth surface is mediated by cell surface proteins, which interact with specific receptor located in tooth pellicle. Glucan binding protein, Glukosyltransferase, and antigen I/II are basic proteins of S. mutans, which have a role in initiating the interaction. A previous study showed that chicken’s IgY can interfere the interaction. Purpose: The objective of this study was to assess the ability of IgY in recognizing the surface molecule of Streptococcus mutans expressed by various serotypes (c, d, e, f) and a strain derived from IPB, Bogor. Method: Western blot was used as a method to determine such capability. Result: The result showed that IgY has a potency to recognize antigen I/II, but not the other proteins on the cell surface of all bacteria tested. Conclusion: The ability of IgY to bind the surface protein, antigen I/II, indicates that this avian antibody could be used as a candidate for anti-adhesion in preventing dental caries.

Abstract

Background: Biofilms are involved in a wide variety of microbial infections, including dental caries and periodontitis. The use of probiotics has been a promising prevention and treatment modality with which to combat biofilm-related diseases in the oral cavity. The probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri has been proven to reduce gingivitis and plaque index inside the oral cavity. These bacteria can be found in the digestive system and also in the human oral cavity. Objective: The aim of this study was to identify L. reuteri in the saliva of Indonesian young adults. Methods: Forty saliva samples were collected from 18–24 year-old Indonesian subjects. DNA extraction was performed, and then, the identification of L. reuteri was accomplished using PCR. Six subjects showed positive results. The positive samples were cultured in Rogosa Agar for 24 hours at 37°C anaerobically. Several single colonies were further cultured separately in broth medium before DNA extraction and PCR identification were performed. The four thickest bands were selected for DNA sequencing. Results: An analysis performed using BLAST showed that two of the L. reuteri strains obtained from the Indonesian saliva isolates had 96% (isolate 3.11) and 95% (isolate 5.14) values. This confirmed the presence of new strains based on average nucleotide identity (ANI). The isolate strains of 3.11 and 5.14 have been registered at DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank under the accession number LC382415 and LC382416, respectively. Conclusion: L. reuteri novel strain can be isolated from the saliva of Indonesian young adults.  Further studies involving biochemical tests and phenotypic analysis are needed to better understand these new L. reuteri strains.

Abstract

Candida albicans (C. albicans) is the main agent in pathogenesis of oral candidiasis, and also the cigarette smoke is one of predisposing factors of C. Albicans virulence, mainly in biofilm formation that it the role as the initiator of adhesiononoral mucosal. This research aimed to identify the effect of Cigarette smoke condensate (CSC) on biofilm formation of C. albicans. Candida albicans was sensitized with CSC kretek and non-kretek that shown the increase of biofilm formation (p0,05) compared control, specifically in 24 hour. Its related with massa of biofilm formation that seem by microscope (400x) and also CSC non kretek better than CSC kretek in biofilm formation of C. albicans, mainly in 24 and 48 hours, that provisional, in 12 hours were the most dominant biofilm figuration of C. albicans sensitized by CSC kretek, although it intensity is lower than 24 hours. The research was concluded that CSC can be trigger to enhancement of biofilm formation of C. albicans in 24 hours and also CSC non kretek better than CSC kretek.Keyword: Candida albicans, Cigarrete smoke condensate, Biofilm
