The in vitro activity of selected mouthrinses on Candida strains isolated from the oral cavity.

The purpose of this in vitro study was to determine the effects of 13 mouth rinses on one hundred Candida strains isolated from the oral cavity of patients. Five of the rinses had no antifungal activity. Chlorhexidine, Colgate and Dentosept acted on all isolated strains; Corsodyl did not act on C.

The in vitro activity of selected mouthrinses on the reference strains of Trichomonas tenax and Entamoeba gingivalis.

Protozoa, such as Trichomonas tenax, Entamoeba gingivalis and Leishmania braziliensis, may be present in the mouth but their role in the pathophysiology of oral diseases is not clear yet. The use of various types of mouthrinses plays an important role in maintaining proper oral hygiene and in removing some of the microbial components from the oral cavity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of selected mouthrinses on the reference strains of Trichomonas tenax and Entamoeba gingivalis which can be a part of the oral cavity microbiota.

The in vitro activity of selected mouthrinses on standard strains of fungi.

An oral cavity hygiene plays a key role in prophylactic and therapeutic measures to prevent pathological changes caused by different viruses, bacteria, fungi and protozoa. It is important to maintain proper oral hygiene and assist the removal of potent pathogens; use of the mouthrinses can be one of method providing to these goal. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of selected mouthrinses on the standard strains of Candida presented in the oral cavity.

Sandpits as a reservoir of potentially pathogenic fungi for children.

Introduction And Objective: Fungi belonging to various physiological and morphological groups present in the environment are potential human pathogens. Some of them are considered as emerging pathogens. Therefore, their presence in children's playgrounds should be regarded as health risk factor.
