Colonization of diferente species of Candida in suture strings
Candida is part of the indian microbiotic, and accesory of the bucal cavity in health state, being the tongue the most colonized zone. Some changes in the hostage cause an increase in the number of yeasts, which produces clinic demostrations of candiosis in different regions of the oral cavity.
The aim of this work was to evaluate if the suture strings used in dental cirgury and implants have the hability of retaining yeasts.
Study sample A contained strings from patients who had dental exodoncies in the Cirugy Service of the Faculty of Odontology of UBA, and study sample B had suture strings from patients who had implants done in private practices. For each case the clinical history was written. Before proceeding to take out the string, we rinsed the patient mouth out with steril destilled water. Each one of the strings taken out of the mouth, along with a cotton swab with a sample of the back of the tongue, were put in an Eppendorf tube containing 2 ml of glucosed BHI for it’s inmediate transport to the laboratory, in aseptic conditions. Each sample was sonicated, extentions were made and seeded by disemination in a cromogenic environment for initial identification. To verify the formation of germinal tubes, seudomicelios and clamidoconidios of Candida spp all the stumps were seeded in agar lechetween 80 sheets at 1%.
The results showed that both A and B samples were able to retain Candida spp in 50% of the procesed cases. In the positive cases, the Candida albicans stump was the one that gave more quantity of isolations, however both groups were capable of isolating other species of Candida like glabrata and krusei.
We can conclude that the suture strings could help to generate candidosis in patients with predisponent local or general causes.
