Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial mapping of polymicrobial communities reveals a precise biogeography associated with human dental caries.
Dongyeop Kim,Dongyeop Kim,Juan P Barraza,Juan P Barraza,Rodrigo Alex Arthur,Rodrigo Alex Arthur,Anderson T. Hara,Karl J. Lewis,Yuan Liu,Elizabeth L Scisci,Evlambia Hajishengallis,Marvin Whiteley,Marvin Whiteley,Hyun Koo +13 more
TL;DR: A precise biogeography in a polymicrobial community associated with human caries is revealed that can modulate the pathogen positioning and virulence potential in situ, indicating that micron-scale spatial structure of the microbiome may mediate the function and outcome of host–pathogen interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradable nanofibrous drug delivery systems: effects of metronidazole and ciprofloxacin on periodontopathogens and commensal oral bacteria
Marco C. Bottino,Rodrigo Alex Arthur,R. Aaron Waeiss,Krzysztof Kamocki,Karen S. Gregson,Richard L. Gregory +5 more
TL;DR: CIP-containing matrices led to a significant inhibition ofperiodontopathogens without negatively impairing the growth of periodontal beneficial bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of silver nanoparticles on the physicochemical and antimicrobial properties of an orthodontic adhesive
Felipe Weidenbach Degrazia,Vicente Castelo Branco Leitune,Isadora Martini Garcia,Rodrigo Alex Arthur,Susana Maria Werner Samuel,Fabrício Mezzomo Collares +5 more
TL;DR: The addition of AgNP solutions to Transbond™ XT adhesive primer inhibited S. mutans growth and physicochemical and antimicrobial properties without compromising the chemical and physical properties of the adhesive.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro biofilm models to study dental caries: a systematic review
T.T. Maske,F.H. van de Sande,Rodrigo Alex Arthur,Marie-Charlotte D.N.J.M. Huysmans,Maximiliano Sérgio Cenci +4 more
TL;DR: A systematic review of in vitro biofilm models for caries-related research to verify the reproducibility and dose-response of models considering the response to anti-caries and/or antimicrobial substances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of TLR-2 and Fungal Surface Antigens on Innate Immune Response Against Sporothrix schenckii
Thais de Cássia Negrini,Lucas Souza Ferreira,Pâmela Alegranci,Rodrigo Alex Arthur,Pedro Passos Sundfeld,Danielle Cardoso Geraldo Maia,Luis Carlos Spolidório,Iracilda Zeppone Carlos +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest a new insight in relation to how the immune system recognizes and induces the production of mediators in response to the fungus S. schenckii, and show that TLR-2-/- animals had had statistical lower percentage of macrophages with internalized yeasts compared to WT.
