Popis: Objective: The present clinical study investigated the microbiota of teeth with persistent secondary endodontic infection in the different phases of root canal retreatment. Methods: Twenty filled single-rooted teeth with apical periodontitis were included. Samples were collected with sterile paper points before chemo-mechanical preparation (CMP) (S1), after CMP (S2) and after 30 days of calcium hydroxide-based intracanal medication (ICM) (S3). Cultivable bacteria were assessed by colony forming units count (CFU/mL). DNA was extracted and assessed by using nested PCR. Paired t-test and repeated measures ANOVA were applied for intragroup analysis in the stages of endodontic therapy at a significance level of 5%. Results: Cultivable bacteria were detected in all initial samples. CMP reduced bacteria by 99.4% and ICM by 99.5%. The most prevalent species found in the initial samples were E. faecalis (20/20), P. gingivalis (20/20), F. nucleatum (17/20) and A. actinomycetemcomitans (10/20), whereas D. pneumosintes, F. alocis, P. nigrescens and T. socranskii were not detected. After CMP, A. israelii, A. naeslundii, G. morbillorum, T. forsythia and T. denticola were not detected (P0.05) and F. nucleatum had its DNA significantly reduced after CMP (P
