Study Notes
Understanding Disease Pathogenesis and Diagnostic Postulates
- Disease prevention can involve inhibiting pathogens and interfering with environmental factors that drive bacterial selection and growth.
- The Keystone Hypothesis suggests that low levels of pathogens can cause inflammatory disease by altering the host immune system and promoting bacterial growth.
- The Cook's postulates, published in 1890, establish criteria for determining if an organism causes a specific disease, but it has limitations.
- Modifications to the postulates involve molecular-level applications, such as PCR, to associate specific nucleic acid sequences with disease development and resolution.
- Socrates Kita proposed new postulates to understand the risk factors for periodontal disease, focusing on pathogen numbers, host immune response, and virulence factors.
- Gingival plaque is categorized as supragingival or subgingival, with different bacterial compositions and colors based on location and pocket depth.
- Supragingival plaque primarily consists of gram-positive round and rod-shaped bacteria, while subgingival plaque is dominated by gram-negative rods and filament spiral bacteria due to anaerobic conditions and blood product availability.
- Supragingival plaque is more white in color, while subgingival plaque is darker due to local blood products.
- The shape of supragingival plaque is bulkier, while subgingival plaque is flatter.
- Disease prevention can involve inhibiting pathogens and interfering with environmental factors that drive bacterial selection and growth.
- The Keystone Hypothesis suggests that low levels of pathogens can cause inflammatory disease by altering the host immune system and promoting bacterial growth.
- The Cook's postulates, published in 1890, establish criteria for determining if an organism causes a specific disease, but it has limitations.
Microbial Shift Hypothesis and the Development of Periodontal Disease
- Socrates group divided the six different groups involved in the colonization process: blue, yellow, green, purple, orange, and red complex
- The red complex can't exist without the orange complex, but the absence of beneficial organisms is as important as the presence of pathogens
- Chronic diseases may be linked to the microbial shift hypothesis, where there is a decrease in beneficial symbionts or an increase in pathogens over time
- As the disease progresses, the overall microorganism shifts from gram-positive aerobes to gram-negative anaerobes
- Biofilm consists of different physiological differences and allows for coexistence of different species over time
- There are synergistic and antagonistic interactions among the bacteria in the biofilm
- Bacteria communicate using chemical signaling called autoinducers, which regulate gene expression and encourage the growth of certain bacterial species while discouraging others
- The early hypothesis that all plaque has equal potential to cause disease was abandoned with the development of techniques to isolate and identify specific bacteria
- Specific plaque hypothesis stated that only certain plaque is pathogenic, leading to the idea that all diseases could be initiated by specific pathogenic species
- Marsh proposed the ecological plaque hypothesis, which suggests that disease results from an imbalance in microflora due to ecological stress, leading to an enrichment of pathogens or disease-related microorganisms
- Environmental factors play a role in the development of periodontal disease, such as frequent exposure to low pH or sugar fermentation
- The development of periodontal disease involves a complex interaction of different bacterial species and environmental factors
