fa Retrospective study of microorganisms associated with vascular access infections in hemodialysis patients بیماری های دهان Oral Medicine پژوهشي Research <p> <strong>Objective</strong></p><p>  The aim of this study was to assess microorganisms associated with vascular access–associated infections (VAIs) in hemodialysis patients, with respect to possible origin from the mouth. </p><p> <strong>Study Design</strong> </p><p> A retrospective and comparative analysis of the microbes associated with VAI in hemodialysis patients treated during a 10-year period was performed with the Human Oral Microbiome Database (HOMD). </p><p> <strong>Results </strong></p><p> Of 218 patient records identified, 65 patients collectively experienced 115 VAI episodes. The most common microorganisms involved were Staphylococcus aureus (49.6% of infections), Staphylococcus epidermidis (10.4%), Serratia marcescens (10.4%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (9.6%), and Enterococcus faecalis/fecum (8.7%). None of these was found in ≥1% of HOMD clone libraries, indicating that they very rarely colonize the teeth or plaque. </p><p> <strong>Conclusions</strong></p><p>  Most VAIs were associated with microorganisms more likely to originate from other body sites than from the oral cavity. The risk of a VAI being caused by microorganisms originating from the oral cavity is very small. </p><hr><p></p><p> <strong>Source: </strong>Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology </p><p> <a href="http://www.oooojournal.net/article/S2212-4403(12)01498-8/abstract" target="_blank"><font color="#0000ff">Full Text</font></a></p> 0 0 http://idai.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-32-1498&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Sandra D'Amato-Palumbo 10031947532846006835 10031947532846006835 No Dental Hygiene Program, College of Arts and Sciences, University of New Haven, West Haven, Connecticut Andre A.
