摘要
This study identifies and correlates proportions of bacteria in periapically involved anterior teeth of 85 adult Egyptian patients. Affected sites were free from caries and periodontal disease but had a history of trauma. The mean number of component bacterial species per specimen was 3.1. Anaerobic bacteria were the dominant flora present in specimen cultures, comprising 73% (190/259) of cultivable bacteria. The most frequently isolated organisms were Eubacterium species (68%), black-pigmented Bacteroides (56%), Streptococcus morbillorum (47%) and non-pigmented Bacteroides (37%). These organisms also showed the highest proportional values relative to total cultivable bacteria. The mean percentages of total viable counts of these isolates were 19.0%, 14.1%, 18.0% and 15.5%, respectively. Statistical analysis of data revealed a significant negative correlation between S. morbillorum and Bacteroides species.
