Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) (ATCC-25586) was obtained from ATCC. Fn was cultured anaerobically at 37 °C for 48 h in the chopped cooked meat media (Anaerobic Systems, Morgan Hill, CA, USA) inside an anaerobic chamber containing an anaerobic gas kit generating system (MGC, AnaeroPACK System, New York, NY, USA). Colon enteroid-derived monolayer (EDM) was infected with (Fn) at a multiplicity of infection (moi) of 100 for 24 h. Escherichia coli K12 strain DH10B (ATCC-PTA5105) was cultured on Luria Broth (LB) agar and LB broth and used to infect EDM at a moi of 100 for 24 h. Adherent-invasive Escherichia coli strain LF82 (AIEC-LF82), isolated from the specimens of Crohn’s disease patients, was obtained from Arlette Darfeuille-Michaud (Clermont-Ferrand, France) and was cultured as previously described [45 (link)]. EDM was infected with LF82 at a moi of 100 for 24 h.

Bacterial isolates were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA). Glycerol stocks were prepared upon arrival as recommended by ATCC. Pseudomonas aeruginosa str. PAO1, Burkholderia multivorans (ATCC 17616), Stenotrophomonas maltophila (ATCC 13637), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 12600), Fusobacterium nucleatum (ATCC 23726), Streptococcus anginosus (ATCC 33397), Bacillus halodurans (ATCC BAA-125), and Gemella haemolysans (ATCC 10379) were grown (aerobically or anaerobically) overnight in Tryptic-Soy broth (TSB) at 37 °C and subsequently quantified on Tryptic-Soy agar plates. Culture broths were pooled to a density of ~ 8E+ 09 16S copies/ml. A series of seven tenfold dilutions was prepared resulting in sample densities ranging from 8E+ 09 to 8E+ 02 16S copies/ml. Three mock communities were prepared, the first being composed of an equimolar ratio of P. aeruginosa, B. multivorans, and S. maltophilia. The second community was composed of P. aeruginosa and B. multivorans, each accounting for 50% of the community composition. The third community was composed of S. aureus (55%), F. nucleatum (24%), B. halodurans (15%), S. anginosus (5.5%), and G. haemolysans (0.5%).

Oral pathogenic bacteria, viz. Streptococcus mutans (ATCC 35668), Streptococcus sabrinus (ATCC 33478), Fusobacterium nucleatum (ATCC 25586), Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (ATCC 43718), Enterococccus faecalis (ATCC 29212) and P. gingivalis (ATCC 33277) were obtained from the archival collection at the Oral Biosciences, Faculty of Dentistry, The University of Hong Kong, and used for the experiments. These species were inoculated on horse blood agar plates and incubated in an anaerobic chamber with 5% CO2, 10% H2 and 85% of N2 at 37°C for two days. The bacterial cultures were harvested and suspended in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for subsequent microbiological experiments.

Five bacterial species were used for testing the sealers’ antimicrobial properties: the obligate anaerobes Fusobacterium nucleatum (ATCC 49256), Prevotella intermedia (ATCC 25611), Parvimonas micra (ATCC 33270), and Veillonella parvula (ATCC 17745) as well as the facultative anaerobe Streptococcus oralis (ATCC 35037). All strains were obtained from the German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures (DSMZ, Braunschweig, Germany) and grown on Schaedler agar plates supplemented with vitamin K1 and 5% sheep blood (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). Cultivation in liquid medium was performed in anaerobic brain–heart-infusion broth (BHI, Becton Dickinson) supplemented with hemin (5 µg/ml) and vitamin K1 (1 µg/ml). The bacteria were incubated at 37 °C in an anaerobic atmosphere (5% H2, 10% CO2, 85% N2).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
