“…This could be explained because females have higher caries prevalence than males [98,99,100,101]. Moreover, E. corrodens is associated with systemic diseases such as spinal, head, and neck infection or endocarditis [102,103,104,105,106]. Therefore, it could be a predictive marker of carious disease but also of systemic diseases.…”

The Oral Bacterial Microbiome of Interdental Surfaces in Adolescents According to Carious Risk

et al. 2019

Adolescence is closely associated with a high risk of caries. The identification of specific bacteria in an oral microniche, the interdental space of the molars, according to carious risk can facilitate the prediction of future caries and the anticipation of the progression or stabilization of caries in adolescents. A cross-sectional clinical study according to the bacteriological criteria of interdental healthy adolescents and carious risk factors—low and high—using a real-time polymerase chain reaction technique was conducted. The presence of 26 oral pathogens from the interdental microbiota of 50 adolescents aged 15 to 17 years were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed. Bacteria known to be cariogenic (Bifidobacterium dentium, Lactobacillus spp., Rothia dentocariosa, Streptococcus cristatus, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus salivarius, Streptococcus sobrinus, and Streptococcus wiggsiae) did not present differences in abundance according to carious risk. Periodontal bacteria from the red complex are positively correlated with carious risk. However, only 3 bacteria—S. sobrinus, E corrodens and T. forsythia—presented a significant increase in the highest group. Estimating the risk of caries associated with bacterial factors in interdental sites of molars in adolescents contributes to the better definition of carious risk status, periodicity and intensity of diagnostic, prevention and restorative services.

“…53 E. corrodens is a normal component of the microbiota of the oral cavity 54 and the mucosal surface of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts 55 ; however, its potential to act as a pathogen has been well documented. 53,[56][57][58][59][60] Given its documented history of pathogenicity, further research on the potential role of Eikenella corrodens in CRC etiology is warranted. Fusobacterium has been associated with colorectal tumors and adenomas in several recent studies.…”

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in the world and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the US and Spain. The molecular mechanisms involved in the etiology of CRC are not yet elucidated due in part to the complexity of the human gut microbiota. In this study, we compared the microbiome composition of 90 tumor and matching adjacent tissue (adjacent) from cohorts from the US and Spain by 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing in order to determine the impact of the geographic origin on the CRC microbiome. Data showed a significantly (P < 0.05) higher Phylogenetic Diversity ( Predicted metagenome functional content from 16S rRNA surveys showed that bacterial motility proteins and proteins involved in flagellar assembly were over represented in adjacent tissues of both cohorts, while pathways involved in fatty acid biosynthesis, the MAPK signaling pathway, and bacterial toxins were over represented in tumors. Our study suggests that microbiome compositional and functional dissimilarities by geographic location should be taken in consideration when approaching CRC therapeutic options.

“…ere are only very few cases found in the literature related to E. corrodens infections of the spine. A review of the literature [18] of the past years shows, in the majority of the cases, that this infection occurs in the lumbar region without any previous surgical procedures. Until now, there are only 11 published cases of spinal infections caused by E. corrodens [7,8,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] (see Table 1).…”
