ABSTRACT

This study evaluated the physical and mechanical properties of glass ionomer cement (GIC) associated with 5% hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (NPHAps) and 10% bioactive glass (BAG) 45S5 before and after brushing at different storage times. Surface roughness was evaluated using a rugosimeter, Vickers hardness using a microdurometer, and mass variation measured in an analytical balance at 1, 7, 15, 30, and 60 days before and after the brushing test, with the aid of toothbrushing simulator and soft bristle toothbrushes. Nonnormal distribution was observed, and the nonparametric Wilcoxon and Kruskal-Wallis tests followed by Dunn's were performed, with a significance level of 5%. We observed higher values for mass loss on the first day for all groups. The surface roughness was lower in the control and NP groups, 30 days after brushing. Higher values for hardness were found in the control group and lower ones for NP, after brushing. The control and BAG groups presented a decrease in hardness over time. The NP group presented the highest values before brushing, while the control group had the highest values after brushing. The association of NPHPa with the GIC is the most promising combination, since it presented satisfactory values for surface hardness. However, conventional GIC not associated with NPHPa or BAG is still an option, since it is available in the market and the most economically viable option.

ABSTRACT

We sequenced 13 Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates exhibiting distinct susceptibility profiles and which were recovered over 12 years in the metropolitan region of São Paulo, Brazil. Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) was performed on an Illumina MiSeq™ 2 × 300 bp paired-end reads. Bioinformatics analyses were carried out using CGE, PATRIC, and BLAST databases for manual curation of obtained genomes. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) analysis identified seven STs, namely ST1580, ST1590, ST1901, ST1902, ST8161, ST9363, and ST15640. Moreover, a diversity of mutations was observed in MtrR/G45D-A39T, PIB/G120K-A121S, and PBP1/L421P. Mutations associated with sulfonamides (DHPS/R228S) and rifampicin (RNAP/H552N) were also detected, as well as tetracycline resistance determinants, namely rpsJ/V57M and tet(M). The results presented herein can contribute to the knowledge of N. gonorrhoeae strains circulating in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
