Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Periodontology
  • Antimicrobial Resistance

Background:

  • Periodontal diseases are common bacterial infections.
  • Accurate antimicrobial susceptibility testing is crucial for effective treatment.
  • Current methods can be time-consuming for clinical practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To validate a rapid resistance screening (RRS) method for antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
  • To compare the RRS method against the standard broth dilution method.
  • To assess the RRS method's utility for periodontopathic microorganisms.

Main Methods:

  • Subgingival plaque samples from 25 patients were analyzed.
  • The rapid resistance screening (RRS) method used antibiotic-impregnated agar plates.

  • Standard broth dilution served as the control method for comparison.

    • Main Results:

    • The RRS method demonstrated high sensitivity and predictability compared to the control.
    • High agreement percentages were observed for Augmentin, clindamycin, and tetracycline.
    • The method showed feasibility for testing whole samples and specific bacteria like Bacteroides intermedius.

    Conclusions:

    • The validated RRS method is a feasible and potentially rapid tool for antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
    • This method could assist periodontal practitioners in selecting appropriate antibiotic therapies.
    • Further studies are needed to demonstrate efficacy for a broader range of bacteria.
