Diverse and novel oral bacterial species in blood following dental procedures

Farah K Bahrani-Mougeot et al. J Clin Microbiol. 2008 Jun.

Abstract

We identified oral bacterial species in blood cultures following single-tooth extraction and tooth brushing. Sequence analysis of 16S rRNA genes identified 98 different bacterial species recovered from 151 bacteremic subjects. Of interest, 48 of the isolates represented 19 novel species of Prevotella, Fusobacterium, Streptococcus, Actinomyces, Capnocytophaga, Selenomonas, and Veillonella.

Phylogenetic tree of bacterial species and phylotypes identified in the blood following tooth brushing and tooth extraction with or without antibiotic prophylaxis. Strains in red are putative new species from this study. Species in blue are cultivable representatives of phylotypes (species) or previously uncharacterized strains. The marker bar represents a 5% difference in nucleotide sequences. Columns 1 to 6 represent specific blood draws (see the text).
