Analysis of Genetic Lineages and Their Correlation with Virulence Genes in Enterococcus faecalis Clinical Isolates from Root Canal and Systemic Infections

Enterococcus faecalis with capsule polysaccharides type 2 and biofilm‐forming capacity in Indonesians requiring endodontic treatment

“…In the present study, ERIC–PCR was used to study E. faecalis isolates from Indonesians who required endodontic treatment. Furthermore, pathogenic lineages of E. faecalis isolated from root canals and systemic infections have been associated with the presence of a capsule . Thus far, data that combine genomic diversity and CPS type have not been available for saliva isolates.…”

Effect of the combination of several irrigants on dentine surface properties, adsorption of chlorhexidine and adhesion of microorganisms to dentine

“…, Penas et al . ), and Candida albicans is the most prevalent species of fungi associated with persistent endodontic infections (Waltimo et al . , Persoon et al .…”

In mixed biofilms Enterococcus faecalis benefits from a calcium hydroxide challenge and culturing

“…, Penas et al . ), it was also stated recently that the potential for nosocomial transmission of enterococci during the course of a root canal treatment appears to be negligible (Vidana et al . ).…”

“…Speculation about the origins of E. faecalis in secondary infections ranges from the presence of undetectable levels of E. faecalis in primary infections, the contamination of the root canal system with E. faecalis during or after root canal treatment (Penas et al . ), to anachoresis. Although no proof has been found for an endogenous source of E. faecalis (Vidana et al .…”
