| Antimicrobial resistance in dental unit waterlines: a scoping review of microbial diversity, resistance patterns, and knowledge gaps |
| Tuesday, July 07, 2026 09:22 AM |
| Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global health threat, and dental unit waterlines (DUWLs) may contribute to AMR, as DUWLs provide ideal conditions for biofilm development and growth of antimicrobial-resistant microorganisms. However, the microorganisms involved and their resistance patterns in DUWLs remains unclear. This scoping review aimed to map the available evidence on antimicrobial-resistant microorganisms in DUWLs and characterize resistance patterns. Read more. |
