Antibiotic Resistance Studies in Streptococcus mutans Isolated from Dental Plaque SamplesBy Varshini Rana, Albin Joseph, Sneha Saragadam, Dhamodhar P.
Abstract: Dental plaque is an archetypical biofilm composed of a complex microbial community. It is the etiological agent for major dental diseases such as dental caries and periodontal disease. Streptococcus mutans has been heavily implicated in dental plaque formation. The control of plaque can be achieved by mechanical oral hygiene procedures. However, in many cases, that is not enough to completely get rid of the biofilm. The addition of antiplaque or …

Antibacterial Activity of Plant Extracts and Its Phytochemical AnalysisBy Chaitra Sai K., Pratiksha P. Bhat, Tharani S., Dhamodhar P.
Abstract: Emergence of multi-drug resistance in human and animal pathogenic bacteria as well as undesirable side effects of certain antibiotics has triggered immense interest in the search for antimicrobial drug of plant origin since there is no resistance developed to the drugs that are of plant origin. The antibiotic resistance was observed by testing with commonly used antibiotics against test microorganisms and then diameter of zone of inhibition was compared to …
