AN IN-DEPTH STUDY ON THE ISOLATION, DIAGNOSIS, AND TREATMENT OF BACTERIA ASSOCIATED WITH DENTAL CARIES

Tooth decay is the gradual breakdown of tooth components, resulting from loss hydroxyapatite crystals as part aging. Mutans Streptococci one species most associated with decay. The samples were isolated and cultured following standard procedures, results showed that Streptococcus mutans was indeed bacteria, accounting for 47 (85.5%) cases in people Small soft blue colonies S. bacteria appeared due to their absence several individuals which may be attributed small numbers. Lactobacilli also 8 (14.55%) cases. Antibiotic sensitivity tests against this bacterium sensitive azithromycin antibiotic resistant multi-antibiotic tetracycline, well amoxicillin, tobramycin, ciprofloxacin along chloramphenicol, ampicillin lincomycin. objective study isolate identify cause decay, determine antibiotics effectively inhibit them.
