Empiric antibiotics were administered before the culture and sensitivity test results were obtained and specific antibiotics were administered based on the culture and sensitivity test results.

Assessment of Total Antioxidant Capacity and Antimicrobial Activity of in Saliva of HIV-Infected Patients.

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the antimicrobial activity and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of licorice in Saliva of HIV/AIDS patients.

Materials And Methods: Saliva specimens were collected from 20 people living with HIV infection, with CD4 count <500 cells/mm from people infected with HIV/AIDS in Mangalore city, India.
