Our systematic review aimed to evaluate the effect of periodontal interventions on the diversity and composition of periodontal microbiota assessed by high throughput sequencing (HTS) metagenomics analysis. An electronic search was conducted from database inception to November 2021. All clinical trials that evaluated the effect of periodontal interventions on the gingival microbiota through HTS were selected. The measures of alpha diversity, richness, Shannon diversity index, and the Chao1 index, were used as the primary outcome, whereas relative abundances of bacterial genera were considered as the secondary outcome. Overall, 24 studies were eligible for the systematic review, of which 13 studies were included in the meta-analysis. Periodontal intervention for the test group decreased Shannon diversity, richness, and Chao1 index (alpha diversity), as observed from baseline to post-treatment. The most common genera that increased after periodontal therapy were , , , , and , whilst , , , and decreased after periodontal therapy. Periodontal interventions may decrease the bacterial diversity and richness and alter the composition of oral microbiota in the short term. Periodontal microbiota signatures could potentially be used for the assessment of periodontal disease development, progression, and success of the intervention.

To analyze the changes on gut microbiota and metabolic products in patients with chronic heart failure. By searching the Pubmed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and CNKI, Wanfang, and CMB databases from the day of built up to December 2019, we screened related literature exploring the intestinal flora of chronic heart failure patients, and systematic review was performed to study changes in intestinal flora composition, function, and metabolites among chronic heart failure patients. A total of 10 articles were included to study the gut microbiota of patients with chronic heart failure in this analysis. The systematic review showed significant changes in β-diversity in patients with heart failure. The abundance of faecalibacterium, blautia, bacteroides, prevotella and anaerostipes was decreased, while the abundance of streptococcus, escherichia/shigella, veillonella, and enterobacte was increased. The increased microbial gene function in patients with heart failure included tryptophan metabolism, lipid metabolism, LPS synthesis,and so on, especially, bacterial genes related to trimethylamine oxide production increased significantly, while genes related to key enzymes producing the beneficial metabolite butyrate decreased significantly, and harmful metabolite trimethylamine oxide levels increased in chronic heart failure patients. There are significant changes in the structure, function and metabolites of intestinal flora in patients with chronic heart failure.

BACKGROUND
Proton pump inhibitors (PPI) are widely used to treat acid-related disorders of the upper gastrointestinal tract. However, large observational studies have raised concerns about PPI-associated adverse events. In recent years, data from next-generation sequencing studies suggested that PPIs affect the composition of the intestinal microbiota, while a balanced gut microbiome is essential for maintaining health.
AIM
To review the available evidence from next-generation sequencing studies on the effect of PPIs on the intestinal microbiome and to discuss possible implications of PPI-induced dysbiosis in health and disease.
METHODS
A systematic review was conducted following the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses statement. A PubMed query yielded 197 results. 19 publications met the prespecified eligibility criteria.
RESULTS
Twelve observational study cohorts with 708 PPI users and 11 interventional cohorts with 180 PPI users were included in the review. In most studies, PPI treatment did not affect microbiological richness and diversity, but was associated with distinct taxonomic alterations: In the upper gastrointestinal tract, PPI users showed overgrowth of orally derived bacteria, mostly Streptococcaceae (findings based on six independent cohorts with 126 PPI users). In faecal samples, PPIs increased multiple taxa from the orders Bacillales (eg, Staphylococcaceae), Lactobacillales (eg, Enterococcaceae, Lactobacillaceae, Streptococcaceae) and Actinomycetales (eg, Actinomycetaceae, Micrococcaceae), the families Pasteurellaceae and Enterobacteriaceae and the genus Veillonella. Taxa decreased by PPIs include Bifidobacteriaceae, Ruminococcaceae, Lachnospiraceae and Mollicutes (findings in faecal samples based on 19 independent cohorts with 790 PPI users).
CONCLUSION
PPI use is associated with moderate alterations to upper and distal gut microbiota. The available data suggest that PPI-induced hypochlorhydria facilitates colonization of more distal parts of the digestive tract by upper gastrointestinal microbiota.

Special Care in Dentistry : Official... 2023To evaluate the prevalence and proportions of bacteria resistant to oral antiseptics used in hospitalized patients.
AIMS
To evaluate the prevalence and proportions of bacteria resistant to oral antiseptics used in hospitalized patients.
METHODS AND RESULTS
A review of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) was led by implementing the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews including various databases. MeSH terms and keywords were used to assess only RCTs with antiseptic-resistant outcomes. Fourth RCTs met the selection criteria. These trials studied 399 hospitalized patients for respiratory infections or cardiovascular disease. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Acinetobacter baumannii were predominant pathogens in the chlorhexidine group. It was found that Veillonella parvula and Campylobacter gracilis (57% of the isolates) had resistance to triclosan, while 67% of Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, and Enterobacter species presented resistance to chlorhexidine. However, an increase in minimal inhibitory concentrations of triclosan or chlorhexidine during the follow-up period was not observed. Moreover, chlorhexidine reduced the amount of S. aureus in dental plaque and the oropharyngeal colonization by aerobic microorganisms; nonetheless, it was unsatisfactory to decrease the occurrence of respiratory infections. No adverse events were reported.
CONCLUSIONS
Resistance of V. parvula and C. gracilis to triclosan, and Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, and Enterobacter species to chlorhexidine were perceived. However, these resistances did not increase during the follow-up period.

This review aimed to determine the prevalence of species of yellow, purple and green microbial complexes in root canals (RC) and periodontal pockets (PP) of teeth with endodontic-periodontal lesions. For this purpose, two reviewers searched the literature up to January 2022. Studies reporting the prevalence of species of the yellow, purple and green microbial complexes in teeth diagnosed with endodontic-periodontal lesions were included. The risk of bias of the included studies was assessed using the 14 criteria from the NIH Quality Assessment Tool. Of 1,611 references identified in the initial search, only four studies were eligible and included in the qualitative analysis. The profile and prevalence rates of bacterial species in RC and PP varied among the included studies: levels of Agregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (12% RC, 58% PP), Capnocytophaga granulosa (10% RC, 35% PP), Capnocytophaga sputigena (15-70% RC, 0-30% PP), Streptococcus mitis (30% RC, 35% PP), Streptococcus sanguinis (30% RC, 35% PP), and Veillonella parvula (70% RC, 50% PP) were identified. The high methodological heterogeneity prevented grouping and quantitative analysis of data. The risk of bias was considered 'moderate' for all studies. The included studies identified the presence of seven bacterial species belonging to the yellow, purple, and green microbial complexes in RC and PP, but with different prevalence rates. Future clinical studies are encouraged to investigate the presence and role of these species in the occurrence and development of endodontic-periodontal lesions.
