Evaluation Of Antimicrobial Activity Of Five Brands Of Commonly Used Toothpastes Against Bacterial Isolates From Human Oral Cavity:- Ukattah, Peace I
ABSTRACT
The
antimicrobial activity of five commonly used toothpaste was investigated
against staphylococcu aureus, candida albicans, Lactobacillus acidophilus
isolates from the oral cavity of volunteers from ikwuano L.G.A in Abia State.
At concentration of 1: 1 dilution and exposure time of 1 Ominutes the red close
up exhibited a drastic reduction in the number of viable candida albicans while
exposure for 20mins resulted- in total inhibition of the organism. At 5 to
20mins in : 1 and 1 :2 dilutions, Staphylococcus aureus was totally inhibited
by Macleans, Red Close Up, Holdent and Dabur Herbal. Lactobacillus acidophilus
at 10-20mins in 1:1 and I :2 dilutions with Red Close Up inhibited the
organism. Pepsodent from my investigation was the least in the exhibition of
antimicrobial activity against the isolated organisms. In conclusion, all the
toothpaste exhibited antimicrobial activity on the isolated organisms at
various concentration and times.
