Various microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi and protozoans, have been shown to colonise and replicate in dental unit water lines (DUWLs), resulting in the formation of biofilms. The quality of dental unit water is of considerable importance since patients and dental staffs are regularly exposed to water and aerosols generated from DUWLs. A total of 95 dental unit water samples from 11 Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) Dental Centres were collected in the period of 7 months, from August 2008 to February 2009. The results obtained from this study indicate that 9.47 % of the samples were contaminated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was confirmed using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. DNA sequencing determined that they were closely related to Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain R285, while a few were related to Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA7. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
