Abstract in Portuguese
O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar longitudinalmente a transmissão de Streptococcus mutans em um grupo de famílias brasileiras de baixa renda. Um critério de inclusão importante foi o de todos os adultos conviverem na mesma casa com a criança. Participaram da pesquisa 14 mães, pais e crianças e 8 avós. Amostras de saliva das crianças foram coletadas em quatro visitas durante 22 meses, para pesquisa de S.mutans. Foram positivas apenas 8 crianças, que tiveram os seus isolados e os isolados de suas famílias identificados pelo método de hibridização DNA-DNA. Um total de 506 isolados de S.mutans foi genotipado pelo método de AP-PCR, usando o primer OPA-02. Foram detectados 20 genótipos diferentes nas 8 famílias, variando de 1 a 5 nos adultos e 1-2 nas crianças. Todas as mães e alguns pais e avós compartilharam genótipos com as crianças. Em todas as famílias foram encontrados genótipos homólogos nos adultos. Alguns genótipos foram estáveis, e outros, se perderam, mas o compartilhamento pode favorecer a contínua reinfecção. Três crianças desenvolveram cárie no período. O encontro de genótipos de cada membro da família na criança e o compartilhar de genótipos nos adultos, sugerem uma reavaliação de modelos preventivos antimicrobianos focalizados apenas na figura materna.
Title in English
Longitudinal study of transmission, diversity and stability of mutans streptococci genotypes in Brazilian families
Abstract in English
The objective of this study was to investigate in a longitudinal study the transmission of Streptococcus mutans in Brazilian families of a low socioeconomic status. An important entry criterion for the study was to include all members of a household in the study. The study cohort was comprised of 14 mothers, fathers and children and 8 grandmothers. Saliva samples were collected for S. mutans analysis in 4 visits during 22 months. Only eight children were positive for S. mutans by employing DNA-DNA hybridization that was also applied to household members. A total of 506 isolates of S. mutans were genotyped by AP-PCR with the primer OPA-02. Twenty genotypes were detected in 8 families ranging from 1 to 5 in the adults and 1-2 in the children. All mothers and some fathers and grandmothers shared similar genotypes with the children. In all families homologous genotypes were encountered among adults. Some genotypes were stable, and others were lost although sharing a similar environment may favor additional transmission episodes. Three children developed decay during the study period. The fact that children shared genotypes from all household members suggest that reevaluation of preventive methods aimed at suppressing S. mutans infections should include additional family members and not only the mothers.
