“…Furthermore, non-tuberculosis Mycobacterium species [41,47], Klebsiella pneumoniae [37,57], P. aeruginosa [16,26] and S. marcescens [30,44,57] have also been identified. Despite tight controls to make sure the treatment water is safe, an elderly patient died from legionellosis following dental treatment in which L. pneumophila serogroup I was identified using molecular profiling from isolates taken both from the patient and from the clinical environment of the dental practice where treatment was performed, confirming the source of infection [43].…”

This study investigated whether V. vermiformis is able to act as a vector for potentially pathogenic bacteria and so aid their dispersal within DUWL systems. Clinical dental water was initially examined for Legionella species by inoculating it onto Legionella selective-medium plates. The molecular identity/profile of the glassy colonies obtained indicated none of these isolates were Legionella species. During this work bacterial colonies were identified as a non-pigmented Serratia marcescens. As the water was from a clinical DUWL which had been treated with Alpron™ this prompted the question as to whether S. marcescens had developed resistance to the biocide. Exposure to Alpron™ indicated that this dental biocide was effective, under laboratory conditions, against S. marcescens at up to 1x10 8 colony forming units/millilitre (cfu/ml). V. vermiformis was cultured for eight weeks on cells of S. marcescens and Escherichia coli. Subsequent electron microscopy showed that V.vermiformis grew equally well on S. marcescens and E. coli (p = 0.0001). Failure to detect the presence of S.marcescens within the encysted amoebae suggests that V. vermiformis is unlikely to act as a vector supporting the growth of this newly isolated, nosocomial bacterium.

“…Peleg et al analyzed implants placed in a single phase in elevated sinuses finding that 61.4% of implant failures were a consequence of post-operative infection (Peleg et al 1999). Although most authors mention a standard practice of antibiotic treatment before and after surgery (Mahler et al 2009;Verdugo et al 2009;D'Ovidio et al 2011), some studies report the use of antibiotic treatment only in some cases (Pack & Haber 1983;Jiang et al 2001;Ahovuo-Saloranta et al 2008). In the present study, no oral bacterial control measures were taken on the day of surgery so that the sample would not be altered or influenced by the use of antispetics or antibiotics.…”
