RNA-based Assay Demonstrated Enterococcus faecalis Metabolic Activity after Chemomechanical Procedures

Abstract Introduction Because ribosomal RNA (rRNA) indicates metabolic cell activity, this study aimed to evaluate the sensitivity of rRNA-based quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) for the identification of active Enterococcus faecalis in root canals samples compared with a method based...

description Abstract Introduction Because ribosomal RNA (rRNA) indicates metabolic cell activity, this study aimed to evaluate the sensitivity of rRNA-based quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) for the identification of active Enterococcus faecalis in root canals samples compared with a method based on ribosomal DNA (rDNA) (rRNA genes). Methods Samples were taken from 18 teeth with persistent/secondary intraradicular infection before (S1) and after (S2) chemomechanical preparation. RNA and DNA were extracted, and complementary DNA was synthesized from RNA using RT-PCR. Complementary DNA and genomic DNA were subjected to quantitative polymerase chain reaction with primers complementary for E. faecalis 16S rRNA sequence. Results E. faecalis was detected in 77.8% and 72.2% of S1 samples using rRNA- and rDNA-based assays, respectively. In contrast, E. faecalis was detected in only 33.3% of S2 samples using rDNA as the template compared with 61.1% using the rRNA-based method. The median concentration of rRNA copies of E. faecalis was significantly higher than rDNA copies, indicating a higher sensitivity for the method targeting rRNA in both S1 ( P

The median concentration of rRNA copies of E. faecalis was significantly higher than rDNA copies, indicating a higher sensitivity for the method targeting rRNA in both S1 ( P  &lt; .01) and S2 samples ( P  &lt; .05). After chemomechanical preparation, the number of rRNA and rDNA copies was significantly reduced ( P  &lt; .05). The high ratio of rRNA to rDNA copies in S2 samples suggested that active E. faecalis persisted in root canals after chemomechanical preparation. Conclusions The RT-qPCR assay provides a sensitive method for the identification of active E. faecalis from endodontic samples. Furthermore, the rRNA-based assay indicated that E. faecalis viable cells persisted in treated root canals, suggesting that it may be a useful tool for monitoring microbial load during endodontic treatment.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0099-2399</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1878-3554</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1016/j.joen.2015.04.020</identifier><identifier>PMID: 26071099</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>United States: Elsevier Inc</publisher><subject>Dental Pulp Cavity - microbiology ; Dentistry ; DNA, Bacterial - analysis ; Endocrinology &amp; Metabolism ; Endodontic ; Enterococcus faecalis ; Enterococcus faecalis - metabolism ; Humans ; quantitative polymerase chain reaction ; Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction ; ribosomal RNA–based polymerase chain reaction ; RNA, Ribosomal, 16S - analysis</subject><ispartof>Journal of endodontics, 2015-09, Vol.41 (9), p.1441-1444</ispartof><rights>American Association of Endodontists</rights><rights>2015 American Association of Endodontists</rights><rights>Copyright © 2015 American Association of Endodontists.
