| Abstract | Aim: The combination of amoxicillin and metronidazole is used in the treatment of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa)-associated periodontitis in some patients. Aa is innately susceptible to betalactam agents, but resistance or decreased susceptibility has been reported. Elucidation of the prevalence and mechanisms of resistance to betalactams in Aa is important in order to treat periodontitis patients with the most optimal antibiotic regimen.Method: 259 Aa strains were collected from patients with geographically diverse origin and serotyped with a multiplex PCR. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values were determined using the agar dilution method, with amoxicillin (range 0.00 mg/L to 8.00 mg/L) incorporated into 5 % blood agar plates with 20 mg/mL NAD. The plates were inoculated with 1 μL bacterial suspensions (104 CFU/ml), incubated in 5 % CO2 at 37 C°, and visually inspected after 24 and 48 hours. A MIC ≥ 4.00 mg/L was categorised as resistant, using EUCAST interpretative criteria for Haemophilus species.Results: None of 259 clinical Aa strains exhibited resistance towards amoxicillin. MIC-values varied from 0.25 mg/L to 2.00 mg/L. There was no clear correlation between MIC-value and serotype.Conclusion: The study showed no contraindications to the continuous use of amoxicillin as a part of the treatment strategy in patients with Aa-associated periodontitis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
