| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We evaluated causative bacterial species by the clone library method using 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in pneumonia patients (n=177) with or without aspiration risks. Oral streptococci were significantly detected in patients with aspiration risks (n=83) compared with those without, and factors such as poor ECOG performance status, past history of pneumonia within one year were associated with a detection of oral streptococci. These results suggest that oral streptococci are more important as causative pathogens of pneumonia in patients with aspiration pneumonia than previously believed. In addition, studies evaluated the relationship between oral hygiene status and detected bacterial species showed that poor oral hygiene status was significantly related to higher detection of anaerobic bacteria, and therefore oral hygiene status might be important factor for detecting anaerobic bacteria in the lower respiratory tract infection.
