Evaluation of a new transport medium for the preservation of oral streptococci
(Elsevier, 1973-07)
The survival of pooled plaque bacteria and a mixed suspension of Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sanguis, Streptococcus mitis, and Streptococcus salivarius were tested in three transport media. A new, non-nutritive, ...
Controlled delivery of inductive proteins, plasmid DNA and cells from tissue engineering matrices
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 1999-10)
The predominant cultivable flora of tooth surface plaque removed from institutionalized subjects
(Elsevier, 1972-09)
Tooth surface plaque was removed from 11 institutionalized individuals and cultured on agar plates in an anaerobic chamber. The recovery of organisms on a dilute trypticase yeast extract medium (MM10), incubated anaerobically, ...
The in-vitro effect of fungal dextranase on human dental plaque
(Elsevier, 1972-01)
Suspensions of dental plaque from eighteen children with high caries activity were hydrolyzed in vitro by a partially purified fungal dextranase isolated from Penicillium funiculosum NRRL 1768. The dextranase preparation ...
Identification of Streptococcus mutans serotypes in dental plaque by fluorescent antibody techniques
(Elsevier, 1973-06)
The presence of Streptococcus mutans in dental plaque may be related to human dental caries. The cultural identification of this organism in plaque is not likely to be used routinely in a clinical or epidemiological ...
Buoyant densities of DNA from various strains of Streptococcus mutans
(Elsevier, 1972-06)
The buoyant densities of eight strains of Streptococcus mutans were determined by analytical ultracentrifugation in caesium chloride. The results were as follows (in g/cm3): K-1-R(1.7044); SL-1(1.7040); E-49(1.7010); ...
Evaluation of Kanamycin as an aid in the isolation of Bacteroides melaninogenicus from dental plaque
(Elsevier, 1971-07)
Dental plaque known to harbour Bacteroides melaninogenicus was removed from the gingival half of selected buccal tooth surfaces. The plaque was dispersed, diluted and cultured on medium containing 0 per cent, 0.05, 0.1 and ...
Predictors of Aspiration Pneumonia: How Important Is Dysphagia?
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag New York Inc., 1998-02)
Aspiration pneumonia is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among the elderly who are hospitalized or in nursing homes. Multiple risk factors for pneumonia have been identified, but no study has effectively compared ...
The identification of bacteria associated with periodontal disease and dental caries by enzymatic methods
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 1986-02)
