As oral cavity is an integral part of general health, persistent and unrelenting stress often becomes a danger affecting the oral health and overall health causing various psychosomatic disorders. Present study aimed to determine the prevalence of oral mucosal lesions and bruxism in psychiatric patients dependent on psychotropic drugs. Dental examination was done and questionnaire administered to 150 psychiatric patients and 150 control participants. In dental examination recurrent apthous stomatitis, burning mouth syndrome, oral lichen planus, bruxism, temporomandibular disorders were evaluated. Results showed that psychiatric patients had higher prevalence of bruxism, oral mucosal lesions in general, than the control group.Keywords

Background:Escherichia coli (E.coli) is most common organism responsible for UTI because of its various virulence factors to break the inertia of mucosal barrier. Objective: In this present study we aimed to access the different virulence factors and their correlation with multi-drug resistance.Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study done at Burdwan Medical College and Hospital, West Bengal. A total 100 urine samples from clinically suspected UTI patients were processed by standard microbiological procedures. Fifty (50) E.coli were isolated on MacConkey agar showing significant bacteriuria from the 100 samples studied. The virulence factors studied were Haemolysis, Bio-flim formation, Mannose sensitive/resistant haemagglutination, serum resistance and antibiotic resistance pattern. For bio-film three methods - congored agar, tube method and tissue culture plate method were compared. Haemolysis was observed on sandwich blood agar. Mannose resistance and sensitive haemagglutination and serum resistance were determined by standard methods. ESBL and MBL were detected by double disc diffusion method along with conventional antibiogram.
Result: Fifty E.coli were isolated from 100 urine sample in this study. Among these 30% showing haemolytic properties, 48% showing HA and 16% showing serum resistance. Three different methods of bio-film formation were evaluated. Antibiogram was plotted with MDR.
Conclusion: There is a need of periodic survillence, antibiotic policy, careful use of empirical and target antibiotics, use of antibiotic coated catheter, standard guidelines on care of catheter. This will reduce incidence, chronicity and recurrence of Urinary Tract Infections.
