Abstract
OBJECTIVES The use of probiotics could promote the balance of the subgingival microbiota to contribute to periodontal health. This study aimed to identify the potential of bacteria commonly associated with healthy periodontal tissues as probiotic candidates. MATERIAL AND METHODS A systematic review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines using the PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, ProQuest, and Ovid databases as well as the combination of Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and non-MeSH terms. Based on the selection criteria, original studies published in English and identifying the microorganisms present in the periodontium of healthy individuals and patients with periodontitis using the high-throughput 16S ribosomal gene sequencing technique were included. RESULTS Out of 659 articles, 12 met the criteria for this review. These articles were published from 2012 to 2020 and mainly originated from the United States, China, and Spain. Most of these studies reported adequate criteria for selecting participants, using standardized clinical criteria, and compliance with quality based on the tools used. In periodontal healthy tissue were identified species like Actinomyces viscosus, Actinomyces naeslundii, Haemophilus parainfluenzae, Rothia dentocariosa, Streptococcus sanguinis, Streptococcus mitis, Streptococcus oralis, Streptococcus gordonii, Streptococcus intermedius, and Prevotella nigrescens which have recognized strains with a capacity to inhibit periodontopathogens. CONCLUSIONS S. sanguinis, S. oralis, S. mitis, and S. gordonii are among the bacterial species proposed as potential probiotics because some strains can inhibit periodontopathogens and have been reported as safe for humans.

Abstract
Background A pneumatocele is a transient thin-walled lesion and rare complication in adult pneumonia. A variety of infectious pathogens have been reported in children with pneumatoceles. We report the first case of adult pneumonia with pneumatocele formation that is likely caused by Streptococcus pyogenes and coinfection with influenza A virus. Case presentation A 64-year-old Japanese man presented with a one-week history of fever, sore throat, and arthralgia. He was referred to our university hospital for respiratory distress. He required mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU). Bacterial culture detected S. pyogenes in the bronchoscopic aspirates, which was not detected in blood. Although a rapid influenza antigen test was negative, an influenza A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test was positive. Therefore, he was diagnosed with coinfection of influenza A and group A streptococcus (GAS) pneumonia complicated by probable streptococcal toxic shock syndrome. A chest radiograph on admission showed diffuse patchy opacification and consolidation in the bilateral lung fields. Multiple thin-walled cysts appeared in both middle lung fields on computed tomography (CT). On the following day, the bilateral cysts had turned into a mass-like opacity. The patient died despite intensive care. An autopsy was performed. The pathology investigation revealed multiple hematomas formed by bleeding in pneumatoceles. Conclusions There have been no previous reports of a pneumatocele complicated by S. pyogenes in an adult patient coinfected with influenza A. Further molecular investigation revealed that the S. pyogenes isolate had the sequence type of emm3.

Tension Pneumatocele due to Enterobacter gergoviae Pneumonia: A Case Report. Case Rep Med 2012; 2012:808630.

Abstract
Pneumatocele formation is a known complication of pneumonia. Very rarely, they may increase markedly in size, causing cardiorespiratory compromise. Many organisms have been implicated in the pathogenesis of this disease; however, this is the first report of tension pneumatocele resulting from Enterobacter gergoviae pneumonia. We report a case of a 3-month-old Nigerian male child who developed two massive tension pneumatoceles while on treatment for postpneumonic empyema due to Enterobacter gergoviae pneumonia. Tube thoracostomy directed into both pneumatocele resulted in complete resolution and recovery. Enterobacter gergoviae is a relevant human pathogen, capable of causing complicated pneumonia with fatal outcome if not properly managed. In developing countries where state-of the-art radiological facilities and expertise for prompt thoracic intervention are lacking, there is still room for nonoperative management of tension pneumatocele especially in very ill children.

Abstract
Pneumatoceles can develop as a complication of pneumonia. Air accumulation inside pneumatoceles can produce a pressure effect on surrounding structures. A 15-month-old girl who developed multiple tension pneumatoceles secondary to infection caused by pneumococcus is reported. The patient experienced severe cardiorespiratory compromise that was unresponsive to conservative treatment with high-frequency oscillatory ventilation. The condition was successfully treated with computed tomography-guided percutaneous catheter placement using a pigtail catheter for decompression. A stepwise approach was adopted for removal of the catheter.

Abstract
Acinetobacter species are well-known causes of nosocomial infections. Recent increasing evidence emphasize on the role of these pathogens in community-acquired infections. We report a case of a 16-yr-old female with fever, sore throat, productive cough, malaise and the presence of lung consolidation with multiple abscesses on radiographic examination. The patient had no significant medical history. After a detailed diagnostic work-up the diagnosis of community acquired Acinetobacter pneumonia with multiple lung abscesses was made. The Acinetobacter stain was susceptible to a variety of antimicrobial agents and the patient's condition improved rapidly. A new computed tomography chest scan, three months later, confirmed full recovery. The presence of lung abscesses due to Acinetobacter infection is an extremely uncommon manifestation of the disease. This case underlines the emergent role which these, often multi-drug resistant, bacteria may play in the future, perhaps in community infections as well.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pulmonary pneumatoceles are thin-walled, air-filled cysts that develop within the lung. Most often, they occur as a sequela to acute pneumonia, commonly caused by Staphylococcus aureus, and are found more frequently in infants and young children. Adult tuberculous pulmonary pneumatoceles are seldom reported. CASE PRESENTATION We reported a case of pulmonary tuberculosis with pneumatocele formation after antituberculous treatment. A 41-year-old man presented with fever and productive cough for 3 weeks. Chest X ray revealed cavitary lesions in bilateral upper lobes of the lung. Acid-fast rods were found in sputum and the cultures subsequently yielded Mycobacterium tuberculosis. After antituberculous treatment, obvious pneumatocele formation was noted in the right upper lobe. CONCLUSION The formation of pneumatoceles in adult pulmonary tuberculosis can occur before, during or after antituberculous treatment, and the development of complications of pneumatoceles was variable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary infection is a common reason for imaging of the lung in immunocompetent and immunosuppressed patients. Findings on chest radiography are nonspecific and encompass poor sensitivity. The role of computed tomography (CT) has been evolving in the diagnosis of lung infections. OBJECTIVE This paper reviews recent developments in the efficacy and utility of CT in the diagnosis of suspected pulmonary infections in a variety of patient populations. METHODS Recent published literature was reviewed to prepare this treatise on the role of CT. CONCLUSION Knowledge and skills at pattern recognition are crucial for the CT interpretation in lung infections. Computed tomography scan is increasingly used to increase the sensitivity of the radiologic diagnosis of thoracic infections. The greatest value of CT is when the radiograph is normal, findings are equivocal, and to differentiate infection from non-infectious disorders.

Abstract
Among gram-negative organisms playing a significant role in nosocomial infections, Acinetobacter species have attracted increasing attention in intensive care units during the past two decades. Acinetobacter species are implicated in a wide spectrum of infections (eg, bacteremia, nosocomial pneumonia, urinary tract infections, secondary meningitis, superinfections in burn patients). One of the most striking features of Acinetobacter species is their extraordinary ability to develop multiple resistance mechanisms against major antibiotic classes. They have become resistant to broad-spectrum β-lactams (third-generation cephalosporins, carboxypenicillins, and increasingly to carbapenems); they produce a wide range of aminoglycoside-inactivating enzymes; and most strains are resistant to fluoroquinolones. In Acinetobacter nosocomial infections, the major problems confronting clinicians in intensive care units are related to the severity of Acinetobacter nosocomial infections and to resistance to major antibiotic classes of these organisms.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the study was to determine the natural course and select appropriate therapy for pneumatocele (PC) in children with postpneumonic empyema. MATERIALS AND METHODS Records of 134 children treated for postpneumonic empyema between October 1997 and June 2003 were reviewed retrospectively, and 58 (43%) of them were found to have PC. Their chest x-rays and computed tomography scans as well as patient profiles were evaluated to assess the size, location, course, and complications. Clinical course, treatment indications, and results were also reviewed. RESULTS The patients were aged from 14 months to 15 years (mean 3.8 years). There were 36 boys and 22 girls. The PC was located on the right hemithorax in 34 patients and on the left in 24. Staphylococcus aureus was the most common isolated infective agent. Of the 58 children, 37 (63.7%) showed complete resolution with improvement of the infection within 2 months. Thirteen PCs had evidences of gradual decrease in size without any indication for invasive approaches, and they resolved completely, with a mean time of 6.1 (ranging from 1-13) months. One tension PC, 3 large PCs (>50% of hemithorax), 1 case with bad tolerance to follow-up, and 2 persistent PCs had no reduction in size on follow-up; a total of 7 patients underwent image-guided catheter drainage procedure, and 5 of them resolved completely. In the last 2 cases, surgical excision was required because of persistent cystic cavity caused by thickened PC wall. One patient whose PC had not been decreasing in size developed findings of severe lung abscess with thickened wall and directly underwent surgery. In none of these patients recurrences or complaints related to PC were noted on their control visits. CONCLUSION Most of these PCs are simple PC and show spontaneous resolution with improvement of the infection within the first 2 months. However, some decrease gradually by time, and close follow-up should be continued in case of complicated PC. Persistent features of chest infection, more than 50% involvement of hemithorax and severe atelectasis, development of broncopleural fistulae (tension PC), and bad tolerance to follow-up remind complicated PC, and they are indications of image-guided catheter drainage procedure. Its failure occurs in PC with thickened wall that does not collapse, as was in our cases with persistent PC and severe infected PC, and thus, this is an indication for surgical excision.
