Purpose: This study was designed to define the antibiotic resistance index of the cultivable oral microbiome to Amoxiacilin Clavulanic acid, Vancomycin, Ciprofloxacin, Clarithomycin, Chlorotetracyclin, Bacitracin, Kanamycin and Tobramycin using a new method adapted from the Kirby Bauer assay. Method: Oral wash samples were collected from 2 current smokers and 2 nonsmokers. Bacterial community were pelleted by centrifugation and used to create a lawn for the assay employing standard disk...

Method: Oral wash samples were collected from 2 current smokers and 2 nonsmokers. Bacterial community were pelleted by centrifugation and used to create a lawn for the assay employing standard disk diffusion assay. Zones of inhibition and number of colonies in the zone were recorded. Mean values of inhibition zones were compared to established databases to draw conclusions. Result: The zones of inhibition of Bacitracin antibiotics shows that several bacteria from one of the non smokers were resistant to Bacitracin, while the smokers showed marked susceptibility. Conclusion: The new method developed in our lab yielded consistent set of data which serve as criteria for determining resistance of the oral microbiome to antibiotics. Quite remarkably, it is known that pathogenic beta Streptococci are susceptible to Bacitracin while non-pathogens are not; confirming that healthy persons harbor the healthy strains of streptococci. However the unanswered question is …. Could these normal biota pick up genes and become resistant too? Only time and human habits will decide but we have developed a baseline and an easy method for testing.

Abstract/Description

The use of the telephone to speak to study participants about health-related issues is useful when logistics make it difficult for participant and researcher to meet in person. However, gaining the trust of the participant can be a challenge, partly due to fears of fraud and identity theft. A spirit of openness and caring must come across the telephone lines between interviewer and interviewee.

Show moreThe use of the telephone to speak to study participants about health-related issues is useful when logistics make it difficult for participant and researcher to meet in person. However, gaining the trust of the participant can be a challenge, partly due to fears of fraud and identity theft. A spirit of openness and caring must come across the telephone lines between interviewer and interviewee. Roach’s six C’s can be applied to convey a sense of caring, thereby relaxing the participant and increasing their sense of safety to enhance the quantity and quality of health data being collected. According to Roach, caring is manifested through six C’s – compassion, competence, confidence, conscience, commitment, and comportment. Interviewers can be trained through role playing and scripting using Roach’s caring model. Compassion is expressed by being sensitive to the anxiety and apprehension they may feel toward receiving a call from a stranger, who is asking about health-related issues. Competence is expressed by being able to give the participant the information they need to have an understanding as to what they are consenting. Confidence is achieved by ensuring the participant that the information they share will be used appropriately and for the greater-good. Conscience is expressed by following ethical research protocols, adhering to confidentiality, and respecting the relationship with the research participant. Finally, interviewers manifest caring through comportment by identifying themselves with their name, credentials, and institution; addressing the participant formally; using language the participant can understand; and projecting caring through tone of voice.
