Candida auris is a globally-emerging pathogen that correlated to nosocomial infections and high mortality rates, causing major outbreaks in hospitals serious public health concerns worldwide. This study investigated the antifungal activity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on clinical isolates C. auris. A total eight were collected from blood, urine, ear swab, groin. was confirmed by MALDI-TOF MS, gene sequencing. All as subjected antimicrobial agents, including amphotericin B, fluconazole,...
Clostridium perfringens is a spore-forming, Gram-positive anaerobic pathogen that causes several disorders in humans and animals. A multidrug-resistant strain was isolated from the fecal sample of patient who clinically suspected gastrointestinal infection had recent history antibiotic exposure diarrhea. The identified by 16s rRNA sequencing as perfringens. strain's pathogenesis analyzed through its complete genome, specifically antimicrobial resistance-related genes. IRMC2505A genome...
Enterococcus avium (E. avium) is a Gram-positive nosocomial pathogen that commonly isolated from the alimentary tract. The objective of this functional genomics study was to identify resistant genes by analyzing genome E. IRMC1622a, type bacteria found in feces collected patient at Saudi Arabian tertiary hospital. bacterial strain IRMC1622a identified 16 S rRNA sequencing as sp. resistance phenomics were performed using VITEK® 2, and morphological analysis achieved scanning electron...
Candida auris is an emerging multi-drug resistant pathogen with high mortality rate; nosocomial infections have been reported worldwide, causing a major challenge for clinicians and microbiological laboratories. The study aims to describe new cases of C. detect drug resistance-associated mutations by the sequencing ERG11 FKS1 genes. A total six specimens were collected from blood, urine, ear swab, groin screening samples. Isolates incubated 48 h on Sabouraud Dextrose agar (SDA) at 42 °C,...
This study aims to assess differences in biofilm bacterial composition between patients with low and high caries. Patients without a medical problem no history of antibiotic use, mouth wash or fluoride application the previous 3 months were recruited. Caries was recorded at cavitation level; score calculated by national mean (dmft 4.8 DMFT 2.7). Pooled samples collected from mesial, distal, buccal, lingual, occlusal surfaces. Based on caries experience, individuals classified into both...
The long-term success of root canal treatment requires the prevention bacterial leakage between walls and obturation. In this study, we compared Enterococcus faecalis in thirty single-rooted mandibular premolars divided into three groups. roots two experimental groups were obturated using a single-cone obturation technique with different bio-ceramic sealers (MTA Fillapex CeraSeal) while conventional group lateral condensation an epoxy resin sealer (AH Plus). A test was carried out modified...
Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) has become a threatening public health problem in the developed world. In kingdom of Saudi Arabia, prevalence CDI is still unknown due to limited surveillance protocols and diagnostic resources. We used two-step procedure study confirm C. cases. also studied toxin profiles these isolates. Stool samples were collected from symptomatic patients clinically suspected for almost 12 months. Isolates confirmed by culture method followed 16S rRNA sequencing....
We report on a highly virulent, multidrug-resistant strain of Enterococcus faecalis IRMC827A that was found colonizing long-term male patient at tertiary hospital in Khobar, Saudi Arabia. The E. carries several antimicrobial drug resistance genes and harbours mobile genetic elements such as Tn6009, which is an integrative conjugative element can transfer between bacteria ISS1N via insertion sequence. Whole-genome-sequencing-based susceptibility testing strains from faecal samples revealed...
Abstract Background: Candida auris is an emerging multi-drug resistant pathogen with high mortality rate, several cases and nosocomial infections have been reported worldwide causing a major challenge for clinicians microbiological laboratories. Objectives: The study aim to, describe new of C. from different sites infection confirmed by MALDI TOF MS ribosomal sequencing, develop the phylogenetic analysis these isolates, detect strains to both azole echinocandin amplification ERG11 FKS1...
Students' self-assessment and peer assessments are essential to understand the rubrics criteria improve their psychomotor skills. The purpose of this study was assess impact score (SAS), peer-assessment (PAS) teacher assessment (TAS) on final scores skills dental students in a preclinical fixed prosthodontics course.A prospective included D2 course for two consecutive academic years from September 2017 May 2019. performance various procedures over 14 sessions assessed by SAS, PAS TAS....
Proper sealing of screw-access channels against microbial microleakage is advisable for the long-term success screw-retained implant prosthesis.This study aimed to compare bacterial adhesion and with three restorative materials, namely, composite resin, acrylic resin bis-acryl, that are used cover access prostheses, using polytetrafluoroethylene tape as a spacer material.In this in vitro study, 18 titanium straight abutments (Hex-lock® Zimmer) were torqued into analogs, which then subdivided...
Currently, world is suffering from a respiratory disease names as COVID-19. This novel coronavirus (n-CoV), new strain which has not been previously identified in humans and it spread more than 100 locations internationally due to termed "public health emergency of international concern" (PHEIC) by the World Health Organization So far, no study done yet assess whether dental workforce aware about facts myths related Covid-19 awareness.This aims analyze compare level awareness COVID-19...
