The potential impact of delivery mode and breastfeeding on oral Candida species...
Azevedo, MJ; Campos, P; Araújo, R; Magalhães, I; Pereira, MD; Azevedo, A; Zaura, E; Ramalho, C; Sampaio-Maia, BObjectives: In early life, children are exposed to microorgan-isms from maternal and environmental sources, which influ- ence the development of their microbiome throughout life. Several studies have demonstrated the influence of the deliv- ery mode and breastfeeding on the oral microbiome of chil-dren, mostly regarding bacterial colonization. However, their influence on the oral fungal carriage is still under ...
Potential Pathogenic and Opportunistic Oral Bacteria in Early Life: The Role of...
Fernandes, M; Azevedo, MJ; Campos, C; Ferreira, AF; Azevedo, A; Falcão-Pires, I; Zaura, E; Ramalho, C; Campos, J; Sampaio-Maia, BIn early life, maternal factors are of the utmost relevance for oral microbiome acquisition and maturation. Therefore, our study explored the impact of maternal factors, such as saliva and breastmilk colonization, cardiovascular risk factors (CRF), type of delivery, oral health, and caregiving habits on the prevalence of potential pathogenic and opportunistic oral bacteria in early life. A total of 26 healthy m...
Characterization of Oral Enterobacteriaceae Prevalence and Resistance Profile i...
Costa, CFFA; Merino-Ribas, A; Ferreira, C; Campos, C; Silva, N; Pereira, L; Garcia, A; Azevedo, Á; Mesquita, RBR; Rangel, AOSS; Manaia, CMChronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a growing public-health concern worldwide. Patients exhibit compromised immunity and are more prone to infection than other populations. Therefore, oral colonization by clinically relevant members of the Enterobacteriaceae family, major agents of both nosocomial and dialysis-associated infections with frequent prevalence of antibiotic resistances, may constitute a serious risk. T...
Rugoscopy in human identification: a study in a sample of twins
Braga, S; Sampaio-Maia, B; Pereira, ML; Caldas, IMPalatal rugae patterns can be useful for forensic identification purposes. However, some doubts persist in concerning the pattern singularity in twins. The purpose of this study was to assess palatal rugae pattern singularity in a sample of twins. To do this, the palatal rugae patterns of 19 pairs of monozygotic twins and 47 pairs of dizygotic twins were studied. Our results showed that in monozygotic twins, no...
Influence of delivery and feeding mode in oral fungi colonization - A systemati...
Azevedo, MJ; Lurdes Pereira, M; Araujo, R; Ramalho, C; Zaura, E; Sampaio-Maia, BPostnatal acquisition of microorganisms from maternal and environmental sources contributes to the child microbiome development. Several studies showed that the mode of delivery and breastfeeding may have impact on the oral bacterial colonization, however, the influence on oral fungal colonization is still unknown. We performed a systematic literature review on mother to child oral fungi transmission, namely re...
Pregnancy as a Period of Enhanced Risk for Non-Cavitated Caries Lesions
Rio, R; Sampaio-Maia, B; Pereira, ML; Silva, MJ; Azevedo, APurpose: To investigate if pregnancy represents a period of increased risk of non-cavitated dental caries related to changes in saliva and oral health behaviours. Materials and methods: A non-randomised longitudinal study was performed with 27 pregnant women and 25 non-pregnant women, who were evaluated twice with the same time gap (24 weeks on average). At the first visit sociodemographic and oral health-relat...

Peritoneal microbiome in end-stage renal disease patients and the impact of per...
Simões-Silva, L; Araujo, R; Pestana, M; Isabel, SS; Sampaio-Maia, BFactors influencing the occurrence of peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related infections are still far from fully understood. Recent studies described the existence of specific microbiomes in body sites previously considered microbiome-free, unravelling new microbial pathways in the human body. In the present study, we analyzed the peritoneum of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients to determine if they harbored a ...
Oral Colonization of Staphylococcus Species in a Peritoneal Dialysis Population...
Simões-Silva, L; Ferreira, S; Santos-Araujo, C; Tabaio, M; Manuel, P; Isabel, SS; Sampaio-Maia, BPeritoneal dialysis-related infections are important morbidity/mortality causes, being staphylococci the most prevalent agents. Since Staphylococcus aureus nasopharynx carriage is a known risk factor for PD infections and the oral cavity is a starting point for systemic diseases development, we aimed at comparing the oral staphylococci colonization between PD patients and controls and studying the association w...
Oral yeast colonization throughout pregnancy
Rio, R; Simões-Silva, L; Garro, S; Silva, M-J; Azevedo, Á; Sampaio-Maia, BBackground: Recent studies suggest that placenta may harbour a unique microbiome that may have origin in maternal oral microbiome. Although the major physiological and hormonal adjustments observed in pregnant women lead to biochemical and microbiological modifications of the oral environment, very few studies evaluated the changes suffered by the oral microbiota throughout pregnancy. So, the aim of our study w...
