A preliminary study of the effect of probiotic Streptococcus salivarius K12 on oral malodour parameters

AIMS: To determine whether dosing with bacteriocin-producing Streptococcus salivarius following an antimicrobial mouthwash effects a change in oral malodour parameters and in the composition of the oral microbiota of subjects with halitosis. MATERIALS AND RESULTS: Twenty-three subjects with halitosis undertook a 3-day regimen of chlorhexidine (CHX) mouth rinsing, followed at intervals by the use of lozenges containing either S. salivarius K12 or placebo. Assessment of the subjects' volatile sulphur compound (VSC) levels 1 week after treatment initiation showed that 85% of the K12-treated group and 30% of the placebo group had substantial (>100 ppb) reductions. The bacterial composition of the saliva was monitored by culture and PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE). Changes in the PCR-DGGE profiles occurred in most subjects following K12 treatment. In vitro testing showed that S. salivarius K12 suppressed the growth of black-pigmented bacteria in saliva samples and also in various reference strains of bacteria implicated in halitosis. CONCLUSIONS: Administration of bacteriocin-producing S. salivarius after an oral antimicrobial mouthwash reduces oral VSC levels. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The outcome of this preliminary study indicates that the replacement of bacteria implicated in halitosis by colonization with competitive bacteria such as S. salivarius K12 may provide an effective strategy to reduce the severity of halitosis.     

The effects of tetrachlorobiphenyls on the electron transfer reaction of isolated rat liver mitochondria

A comparative study was made of the effects of several symmetrical tetrachlorobiphenyls (TCBs) on the electron transfer from succinate to oxygen of rat liver mitochondria, and some differences in effects caused by the different chlorine positions of the biphenyl ring were clarified. TCBs used in this study included 2,3,2',3'-, 2,4,2',4'-, 2,5,2',5'-, 2,6,2',6'-, and 3,4,3',4'-TCBs. The inhibitory actions of 2,3,2',3'-, 2,4,2',4'-, and 2,5,2',5'-TCBs on succinate oxidase were potent, while those caused by 2,6,2',6'- and 3,4,3',4'-TCBs were significantly weak. The inhibition sites of 2,3,2',3'-, 2,4,2',4'-, and 2,5,2',5'-TCBs in succinate oxidase were succinate dehydrogenase and cytochrome b-c segment of the electron transport chain. In the cytochrome b-c segment, these TCBs acted on myxothiazol-sensitive site rather than antimycin-sensitive site. Cytochrome c oxidase was hardly affected by TCBs. These results indicate that 2,3,2',3'-, 2,4,2',4'-, and 2,5,2',5'-TCBs severely depress the electron transfer with succinate as the substrate, which secondarily reduces the synthesis of ATP. The relationship between the activity and chemical structure of TCBs is also discussed.     

The effect of cetylpyridinium chloride on halitosis and periodontal disease-related parameters in dogs

Periodontal disease is an oral disease common in middle-aged dogs and cats, with halitosis being the most common sign. There are many commercial products containing chlorhexidine, cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), zinc salts and essential oils for controlling halitosis and periodontal disease. CPC is a quaternary ammonium compound and has a broad spectrum antimicrobial activity. In this study, oral spray (OS) and gel (OG) containing CPC was applied to the dogs’ teeth twice daily for 3 weeks, and their effect in controlling periodontal disease and halitosis was examined. In the 3-week study, OS and OG were significantly effective in controlling plaque, calculus, and halitosis. Therefore, the OS and OG containing CPC were effective in controlling periodontal disease and halitosis in dogs.     

Salivary β-glucosidase as a direct factor influencing the occurrence of halitosis

β-Glucosidases are enzymes present in all living organisms, playing a pivotal role in diverse biological processes. These enzymes cleave β-glycosidic bonds between carbohydrates, or between a carbohydrate and a non-carbohydrate moiety, which may result in the liberation of volatile aglycones. Released compounds execute diverse physiological roles, while the industry takes advantage of exogenously added β-glucosidases for aroma enrichment during food and beverage production. β-Glucosidase enzymatic activity has been reported in human saliva and given the fact that these enzymes are involved in aroma release, we investigated here the correlation between β-glucosidase activity in human saliva and the occurrence of halitosis. Measurement of salivary enzyme activity of 48 volunteers was performed using p-nitrophenyl-β-d-glucopyranoside as substrate. Each volunteer was clinically evaluated by a dental surgeon and clinical and laboratorial data were statistically analyzed. Gas-chromatography of saliva headspace allowed the analysis of the direct role of exogenous β-glucosidase on aromatic /volatile profile of saliva samples. The data demonstrated a positive correlation between halitosis and enzymatic activity, suggesting that the enzyme exerts a direct role in the occurrence of bad breath. Gas-chromatography analysis demonstrated that exogenously added enzyme led to the alteration of volatile organic content, confirming a direct contribution of β-glucosidase activity on saliva volatile compounds release. Although halitosis is a multifactorial condition, the complete understanding of all governing factors may allow the development of more effective treatment strategies. Such studies may pave the way to the use of β-glucosidase inhibitors for halitosis clinical management.     

幽门螺杆菌感染与慢性口臭关系的初步研究

目的 调查主诉口臭患者的幽门螺杆菌（H．pylori）感染率和主诉消化不良的口臭发生率。方法 研究对象为125例主诉慢性口臭患者和212例主诉慢性消化不良患者。口臭以口气挥发性硫化物（VSC）检测与闻诊联合诊断,H．pylori感染以^14C-尿素呼气试验诊断。结果 125例主诉慢性口臭的患者有87例是真性口臭,其余38例为假性口臭,真性口臭患者的H．pylori感染率显著高于假性口臭（40．2％和13．2％,P〈0．01）。212例主诉慢性消化不良的患者发生口臭105例（49．5％）、感染H．pylori 94例（44．3％）,H．pylori阳性患者的口臭发生率显著高于H．pylori阴性患者（57．5％和43．2％,P〈0．05）。无论何种主诉,大部分口臭患者属于VSC阳性（88．5％）,但H．pylori阳性患者和H．pylor阴性患者口气VSC水平差异无显著性,VSC阳性口臭和VSC阴性口臭的H．pylori感染率差异也无显著性。结论 H．pylori感染可能与口臭的发生有一定关系,但口气VSC并非由H．pylori直接产生。     

European starlings: nestling condition, parasites and green nest material during the breeding season

Male European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) intermingle fresh herbs, preferably species rich in volatile compounds, into their dry nest material. In a field study, we investigated whether these herbs affect the mite and bacteria load of the nests and the condition of the nestlings either directly or via parasite control. We examined the amount of herbs and the number of plant species males carried into their nests, the variation of volatile compounds in the headspace air of the nest boxes and mite/bacteria load of the nests throughout the season. The amount of herb material and the number of plant species, the number of substances emanated by these plants and the infestation of the nests with bacteria and mites (Dermanyssus gallinae) increased with season. In a field experiment, we exchanged natural starling nests with experimental nests with or without herbs. We found that the herbs had no effect on the mites but fewer bacteria were sampled in nests with herbs than in nests without herbs. The body mass of the fledging was not related to the season or the mite/bacteria load of the nests. However, nestlings from nests with herbs fledged with higher body mass than nestlings from nests without herbs. Both bacteria and mite load were related to nestling mortality. In nests containing no herbs, the numbers of fledglings declined significantly with the increasing mite load while the mites had no effect on the number of fledglings in nests with herbs. Thus, the nest herbs counteracted the effect of the mites. In conclusion, it seems that volatile herbs can reduce bacterial but not mite infestation of the starling nests. The positive influence of herbs on nestling growth indicates that herbs either directly (perhaps as immunostimulants) improve the condition of the nestlings and help them cope with the harmful effects of mites, or they provide a nest environment beneficial for the nestlings‘ development by the reduction of germs.     

Overview on sugar metabolism and its control in Lactococcus lactis - the input from in vivo NMR

The wide application of lactic acid bacteria in the production of fermented foods depends to a great extent on the unique features of sugar metabolism in these organisms. The relative metabolic simplicity and the availability of genetic tools made Lactococcus lactis the organism of choice to gain insight into metabolic and regulatory networks. In vivo nuclear magnetic resonance has proven a very useful technique to monitor non-invasively the dynamics of intracellular metabolite and co-factor pools following a glucose pulse. Examples of the application of this methodology to identify metabolic bottlenecks and regulatory sites are presented. The use of this information to direct metabolic engineering strategies is illustrated.     

Bacteriocins of lactic acid bacteria

Lactic acid bacteria produce a variety of antagonistic factors that include metabolic end products, antibiotic-like substances and bactericidal proteins, termed bacteriocins. The range of inhibitory activity by bacteriocins of lactic acid bacteria can be either narrow, inhibiting only those strains that are closely related to the producer organism, or wide, inhibiting a diverse group of Gram-positive microorganisms. The following review will discuss biochemical and genetic aspects of bacteriocins that have been identified and characterized from lactic acid bacteria.
