Research Abstract
The source of the bacteria involved in silent aspiration remains to be completely defined. The purpose of the present study was to obtain reliable evidence on silent aspiration of oral bacteria in elderly patients. Our results suggest that bacteria in bronchial fluids associated with silent aspiration are derived from saliva, and that the bronchial fluids of elderly patients with an impaired swallowing reflex may have a characteristic microbiota. In addition, our results suggest that oral hygiene is important to reduce silent aspiration and to subsequently prevent the occurrence of aspiration pneumonia in elderly patients.
