عنوان المقالة: Study of effect with natural honey and different salt concentrations ( Nacl ) on some aerobic Microorganisms related by Dental caries and Gingivits
This study included three aspects :
* Collection of 95 samples of patients with different ages in Diwanyia city with Dental caries or Gingivits for period ( February – May , 2006 ) , we getted 166 isolates . The various species of isolated aerobic Microorganisms were :- Streptococcus mutans ; Staphylococcus epidermids ; Staphylococcus aureus Candida albicans , were dominant . Pseudomonads aeruginosa ; Escherichia coli ; Proteus mirabilis were less dominant .
* Test the ability to tolerate different salt concentrations ( Nacl ) : ( % 5 , % 7 , % 10 ) of the isolated microorganisms . Results showed that Staphylococci with it's both species was capable to tolerate of high salt concentration ( % 10 ) , while , the other microorganisms were sensitive for this concentration and their growth was inhibited .
* Natural honey and Potential high ability in inhiting the isolated aerobic microorganisms growth . With concentrations ( % 10 , % 15 , % 20 , % 25 ) . Aconcentration of ( % 15 ) of it totally inhibited growth of all tested bacterial isolated . However ; growth of Candida albicans was inhabited by ( % 20 ) . So , the concentration of ( % 15 ) was the Minimum Inhibitory concentration (MIC) of natural honey .
