Outline of Final Research Achievements

Distribution of Rothia species (Rothia mucilaginosa, Rothia aeria and Rothia dentocariosa), known to be opportunistic pathogens, in root canals was investigated. The Rothia spp. were frequently detected in root canals among Japanese population. The presence of Rothia spp. showed correlations with the inflammatory conditions at the apical lesions. The cell components of Rothia demonstrated high level of matrix metalloprotease activity as a potential virulence factor.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

口腔内に生息するRothia種は宿主の抵抗性が低下した場合に重篤な全身感染症を引き起こす場合がある。本細菌の口腔内分布を調べることは感染対策上重要である。また、病原因子を解明することは、将来的な診断と治療法の開発に結び付く可能性がある。根管は歯槽骨内と直結する空間であり、本研究結果から根管がRothiaの全身への感染ルートとなる可能性が示された。今後、根管内のRothiaへの感染対策を実施することで、全身感染症の発症を抑制できる可能性がある。
