Abstract
Objectives: In early life, children are exposed to microorgan-isms from maternal and environmental sources, which influ- ence the development of their microbiome throughout life. Several studies have demonstrated the influence of the deliv- ery mode and breastfeeding on the oral microbiome of chil-dren, mostly regarding bacterial colonization. However, their influence on the oral fungal carriage is still under explored. This study aimed to assess the association of the delivery and feed-ing mode with the oral carriage of yeasts in adulthood. Method and materials: Fungal oral carriage was evaluated by collect-ing unstimulated saliva in 185 healthy dental students (mean age of 21.51 & PLUSMN; 1.55 years old; 81.6% women). Yeast identifica- tion was performed by culture in ChromAgar Candida medium and sequencing of the 18S genes and ITS regions for determination of the species. Demographic and clinical data of each participant were recorded through questionnaires, and oral examinations were performed in a subgroup of participants (n = 49). Results: Candida species were isolated in 37.5% of all participants. The prevalence of yeasts in the oral cavity was sig- nificantly higher in those who were born by vaginal delivery compared to those born by caesarean section (P = .035), whereas no statistically significant differences were observed regarding breastfeeding (P= .398). Low salivary flow rate and frequency of dental visits also were associated with oral yeast carriage (P < .05). Conclusion: The results suggest a possible impact of the type of delivery on fungal colonization, which is sustained throughout life due to oral health-related factors.
