“…However, guidelines from other bodies such as the American Heart Association (AHA) and the European Society of Cardiology (ESD) still recommend using prophylactic antibiotics to prevent infective endocarditis in some patients with congenital heart defects . Dentists therefore are encouraged to consult the patient's cardiologist and to follow the guidelines applied in their region …”

“…For instance, screening for Cnm + strains in patients undergoing major dental procedures may help to identify people who are at a greater risk of developing extra‐oral infections. While a questionable strategy, these patients could be advised to receive antibiotic prophylaxis (Biswas et al ., ; Diz Dios, ; Duval & Hoen, ). Although S. mutans infections can be effectively treated with penicillin (Baddour, ), invasion of non‐professional phagocytic cells may represent a novel strategy by which S. mutans can evade antibiotic treatment (Knoll et al ., ; Jung et al ., ; Foster et al ., ).…”

Summary The ability of Streptococcus mutans to interact with collagen through the expression of collagen-binding proteins (CBPs) bestows this oral pathogen with an alternative to the sucrose-dependent mechanism of colonization classically attributed to caries development. Based on the abundance and distribution of collagen throughout the human body, stringent adherence to this molecule grants S. mutans with the opportunity to establish infection at different host sites. Surface proteins, such as SpaP, WapA, Cnm and Cbm, have been shown to bind collagen in vitro, and it has been suggested that these molecules play a role in colonization of oral and extra-oral tissues. However, robust collagen binding is not achieved by all strains of S. mutans, particularly those that lack Cnm or Cbm. These observations merit careful dissection of the contribution from these different CBPs towards tissue colonization and virulence. In this review, we will discuss the current understanding of mechanisms utilized by S. mutans and related streptococci to colonize collagenous tissues, and the possible contribution of CBPs to infections in different sites of the host.

“…[3] Several guidelines regarding IE prevention are available globally including, British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy guidelines (BSAC) on 2006, National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence guidelines (NICE) on 2008, European Society of Cardiology guidelines on 2009, the Australian guidelines, and the American Heart Association guidelines (AHA) on 2007; most of these guidelines recommended a more restrictive use of prophylaxis for IE. [4567] The BSAC guidelines reduced cardiac conditions in which prophylaxis indicated to the presence of prosthetic valves, a history of IE, and some congenital heart diseases. [8] AHA guidelines added another indication, valvulopathy in cardiac transplant recipients.…”

Objectives:The objective of this study is to assess the knowledge and practice of dentists from Jordan, regarding prevention of infective endocarditis (IE) in dental practice.Materials and Methods:A sample of Jordanian dentists was interviewed regarding their IE knowledge and practice using a validated and pretested survey instrument.Results:Most of the dentists have encountered a patient with IE who needed prophylactic antibiotic (PA) and have prescribed antibiotics to prevent IE. Jordanian dentists’ approach to patients in need for PA varied between the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence recommendations and the American Heart Association to a lesser degree, but still a relatively high percent (39%) did not know any guidelines to follow although 74% have encountered patients who needed endocarditis prophylaxis. Patients with prosthetic heart valve were ranked on top of medical conditions that required PA (87.4%), and most dentists (94.5%) thought that dental extractions need PA followed by periodontal surgery (88.2%).Conclusion:There is a lack of consistency in the knowledge and practice of Jordanian dentists with regard to IE. There is a need to take actions to improve dentist's knowledge regarding this topic.
