[Ex-vivo study of the capacity of bacteria of the genus Capnocytophaga to adhere to human buccal epithelial cells].

The bacteria of the genre Capnocytophaga are part of the subdominant flora of the oral cavity. For diverse microorganisms it has been proved that the adhesion constitutes the first step of the colonization of a place leading to the eventual pathology. The adhesion capacity to human epithelial cells (keratinised and non) of eight strains of genus Capnocytophaga has been studied. All strains appear to have a very weak capacity of adhesion. This diministe can be originated from the fact that the host cells have been harvested from healthy subjects.

[Oral isolation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in the presence of gonococcal urethritis].

The Neisseria Gonorrhoeae, the etiologic agent of the gonococcic urethritis, can produce other clinical manifestations, such as stomatitis, TMJ arthritis and sialadenitis. The investigation of this germ in the oral cavity of 50 patients with gonorrhea, was positive in only one case, which did not present any buccal symptom. It was concluded from this study that an oral gonococcic infection is extremely rare, and that the transmissibility of this germ orally is not frequent eventhough possible in theory. However the infection can spread through the blood stream and can induce other pathology.
