Beta-lactamase production by oral bacteria is common in infancy and is associated with use of antimicrobial agents in infants. The present longitudinal study aimed to examine the frequency of salivary beta-lactamase activity (SbetaA), to compare SbetaA with the presence of beta-lactamase-producing (beta+) aerobic and anaerobic species in saliva, and to estimate the impact of antimicrobial exposure on the emergence of SbetaA in healthy infants during their first year of life. At 6 months, SbetaA was detected in 46% infants; 89% SbetaA-positive infants and 55% SbetaA-negative infants harboured beta+ species at this time (OR 7.08; CI 1.31-38.34). At 12 months, SbetaA was detected in 54% infants. Exposure to antimicrobials during the first year of life increased the risk (OR 2.60; CI 0.72-9.36) of having SbetaA.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D006088 Gram-Negative Aerobic Bacteria A large group of aerobic bacteria which show up as pink (negative) when treated by the gram-staining method. This is because the cell walls of gram-negative bacteria are low in peptidoglycan and thus have low affinity for violet stain and high affinity for the pink dye safranine. Achromatiaceae,Achromatium,Achromobacteriaceae,Gram Negative Aerobic Bacteria
D006089 Gram-Negative Anaerobic Bacteria A large group of anaerobic bacteria which show up as pink (negative) when treated by the Gram-staining method. Gram Negative Anaerobic Bacteria
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
