ABSTRACT

Realizamos estudo microbiológico, coletando amostras de ulceraçöes aftosas recorrentes (UAR) bucais, em 30 pacientes, 18 mulheres e 12 homens, através de "swabs", buscando verificar a participaçäo de bactérias gram-negativas nessas lesöes. Outros 30 pacientes pareados por idade, sexo e estado de saúde bucal, mas com história negativa de UAR foram utilizados como populaçäo controle. Apenas três pacientes do grupo estudo mostraram culturas positivas para gram-negativos (Klebsiella e Enterobacter), enquanto seis pacientes do grupo controle abrigavam enterobactérias. Todas as amostras, tanto do grupo estudo quanto do controle apresentaram crescimento de estreptococos alfa-hemolíticos. Conclui-se que as bactérias gram-negativas näo desempenham papel relevante na expressäo das UAR, uma vez que näo foi possível estabelecer qualquer relaçäo entre as culturas positivas e as características clínicas dos pacientes ou das lesöes em particular. Os estudos devem se aprofundar quanto aos aspectos de identificaçäo, aderência e virulência dos estreptococos alfa-hemolíticos isolados

ABSTRACT

The acidic capsular polysaccharide isolated from Klebsiella K10 exhibited chromotropic character with respect to induction of metachromasy in the cationic dye pinacyanol chloride (1-ethyl-2-[3-(1-ethyl-2(1H)-quinolylidene)propenyl]quinolinium chloride). Klebsiella K10 polymer consists of hexasaccharide repeating units containing one residue of glucuronic acid along with other neutral sugars in each repeating unit. It induces a metachromatic blue shift in the visible absorption spectrum of the dye from 600 nm to 500 nm. The spectral changes have been studied during interaction of the dye cations with the polyanions at different polymer/dye molar ratios. The polyanion-dye compounds are formed with polymer/dye stoichiometry of 1:1, indicating formation of stacking conformation. The complete reversal of polymer-induced metachromasy has also been observed by the addition of ethanol and urea.
