Severe-early childhood caries (S-ECC) a global problem of significant concern, commonly manifest on the occlusal, and proximal surfaces of affected teeth. Despite the major ecological differences between these two niches the compositional differences, if any, in the microbiota of such lesions is unknown.
Deep-dentine caries samples from asymptomatic primary molars of children with S-ECC (n 19) belonging to caries-code 5/6, (ICDAS classification) were evaluated. Employing two primer pools, we amplified and compared the bacterial gene sequences of the seven hypervariable regions (V2-V4 and V6-V9) using NGS-based assay.
Bray-Curtisevaluation indicated that occlusal lesions (OL) had a more homogeneous community than the proximal lesions (PL) with significant compositional differences at the species level ( = 0.01; R- 0.513). Together, the occlusal and proximal niches harbored 263 species, of which 202 (76.8%) species were common to both , while 49 (18.6%) and 12 (4.6%) disparate species were exclusively isolated from the proximal and occlusal niches, respectively. The most commonl genera at both niches included , and was predominant in PL ( ≤ 0.05), and ( = 0.01) was predominant in OL.
Distinct differences exist between the caries microbiota of occlusal and proximal caries in S-ECC.
重度幼儿早期龋(S-ECC)是一个全球高度关注的问题,通常表现在患牙的咬合面和邻面。尽管这两个生态位存在重大差异,但此类病变微生物群的组成差异(若有)尚不清楚。
对19名患有S-ECC(龋病编码5/6,国际龋病检测与评估系统分类)的儿童无症状乳磨牙的深龋牙本质样本进行评估。使用两个引物池,我们采用基于二代测序(NGS)的检测方法扩增并比较了七个高变区(V2-V4和V6-V9)的细菌基因序列。
Bray-Curtis评估表明,咬合面病变(OL)的群落比邻面病变(PL)更均匀,在物种水平上存在显著的组成差异(P = 0.01;R = 0.513)。咬合面和邻面生态位共含有263个物种,其中202个(76.8%)物种在两者中都常见,而分别从邻面和咬合面生态位中仅分离出49个(18.6%)和12个(4.6%)不同的物种。两个生态位中最常见的属包括……,且……在PL中占主导(P≤0.05),而……(P = 0.01)在OL中占主导。
S-ECC中咬合面龋和邻面龋的龋病微生物群之间存在明显差异。
