| dc.description.abstract | he dentogingival bacterial flora was determined using cultural method while the antibiotic susceptibility testing was carried out using agar disc diffusion techniques and interpreted as described by clinical laboratory standard institutes. Also, the levels of bacterial counts were determined on appropriate selective media prior to confirmation using biochemical test. Results obtained, showed on alarming trend of important dental caries pathogens in the following proportion Streptococcus sobrinus 22 (21.8%), Streptococcus oralis 22 (21.8%, Streptococcus mutans 26 (25.7%, Streptococcus mitis 17 (16.8%), Actinomyces, naeslundii 4 (3.96%) and Neisseria mucosa 10(9.9%). The antibiogram assay potrayed ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin as the most resisted by the isolated organisms while ampicillin was found to be the most efficacious. The levels of bacterial counts ranged from 1 X 103 to 3 X 104 cfulg of the food sediments examined. It can therefore, be concluded, that the studied population harbour arrays of dental caries agent in their mouth. | |
