Pendahuluan: Obat kumur herbal banyak dikembangkan karena memiliki sifat antibakteri. Halitosis merupakan bau nafas tidak sedap yang berasal dari oral. Volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) hasil produksi aktivitas bakteri oral, oleh anaerob gram negatif, salah satunya yaitu Porphyromonas gingivalis menyebabkan halitosis. Flavonoid berpotensi sebagai antioksidan dan mempunyai antibakteri, anti infla...

background: this study was conducted to determine the species of oral and non-oral microorganisms in dental laboratory pumice in order to undertake the necessary disinfection control protocols. methods: fourteen active and well-known dental laboratories of tehran entered our study. samples of pumice were collected from polishing containers in a completely sterilized and controlled condition. th...

conclusions it should be kept in mind that the oral flora bacterium s. anginosus may cause transient bacteremia and deep-seated organ abscesses in immunodeficient patients with poor oral hygiene. such patients with intra-abdominal abscesses should be treated with antibiotics and surgery. introduction the streptococcus anginosus group of bacteria are low-virulence bacteria existing as commensals...

Fermented papaya preparation (FPP) is a "natural health product." The high incidence of dental caries, gingivitis, periodontitis, and oral microbial infection cases among patients with diabetes mellitus continues to prevail. The potential role of FPP against common oral microbiota (Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus mitis, and Lactobacillus acidophilus) isolated from the human oral cavity was ...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether parenteral antibiotics are superior to oral antibiotics in preventing serious bacterial infections in children with Streptococcus pneumoniae occult bacteremia. METHODS Using the MEDLINE database, the English language literature was searched for all publications concerning bacteremia, fever, or Streptococcus pneumoniae from 1966 to January 1, 1997. All nonduplica...


 Objective: To evaluate the Antimicrobial Efficacy of Non-Fluoride Toothpaste on Isolated Oral Microbes
 Method: The antimicrobial activity non-fluoride toothpaste against isolated oral microbes was determined by dilution method at neat dilution, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 and 1/16.
 Results: Study results showed that Streptococcus spp resistant while maximum zone inhibition Lactobacilli spp...

UNLABELLED Although saliva is widely recognized as a primary source of carbon and nitrogen for growth of the dental plaque biofilm community, little is known about how different oral bacteria utilize specific salivary components. To address this question, 32 strains representing 16 genera commonly isolated from early plaque biofilms were compared for growth over two transfers in stimulated (by ...

Oral streptococci are able to produce growth-inhibiting amounts of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) as byproduct of aerobic metabolism. Several recent studies showed that the produced H(2)O(2) is not a simple byproduct of metabolism but functions in several aspects of oral bacterial biofilm ecology. First, the release of DNA from cells is closely associated to the production of H(2)O(2) in Streptoc...

Since the 1950s the U.S. military has used intramuscular injections of benzathine penicillin G (BPG) to control outbreaks of respiratory disease. In an effort to find an alternative prophylaxis, a randomized field trial was conducted among 1,016 male U.S. Marine trainee volunteers at high risk for respiratory disease. Participants were evaluated for evidence of acute respiratory infection by se...

Studies performed in numerous laboratories over several decades have demonstrated the feasibility of immunizing experimental rodents or primates with protein antigens derived from Streptococcus mutans or Streptococcus sobrinus against oral colonization by mutans streptococci and the development of dental caries. Protection has been attributed to salivary IgA antibodies which can inhibit sucrose...
