Isolation and identification of some bacterial isolates from mercury and photo filling of teeth and study the antibacterial effect of Pimpinella anisum

Abstract EN

The purpose of this study was the isolation and identification of some bacterial isolates like staphylococcus aureus, staphylococcus epidermidis, streptococci and entrococci from mercury and photo filling indifferent ages in male and femal.

These bacteria were predominant in male compared with female in the older ages from the normal pH (6.8 ± 7.0).

We also investigate the antibacterial activity for the plant Pimpinella anisum and some antibiotics by disc diffusion methods and minimum inhibitory cocentration,the results showed these bacterial isolates were sensitive to the aqueous extract compared with methanol, acetone and petroleum ether and were more sensitiveto vancomycin compared with other antibiotics.
