Comparison of anti-gastritis and chlorhexidine mouthwash on standard helicobacter pylori strains in in-vitro culture

Abstract

Introduction: The oral microorganisms, including humans, are very diverse in terms of microbial flora. There are approximately 500 species of microorganisms in the human oral cavity. Some microorganisms cause some diseases in the mouth, teeth, jaw and, in some cases, disseminated infections in other parts of the body. Aim: The aim of this study was to comparison of anti-gastritis and chlorhexidine mouthwash on standard helicobacter pylori strains in in-vitro culture. Materials and Methods: This study, which was titled "Comparison of anti-gastritis and chlorhexidine mouthwashes on standard helicobacter pylori strains in vitro, was experimentally-labeled and was taken from standard purchased Helicobacter pylori." Isolated Helicobacter pylori strains from specific culture media were prepared for the wells. In the next step, different volumes of anti-gastritis and chlorhexidine mouthwashes were prepared. After preparing the culture medium and performing wells, the bacteria were cultured on a new culture medium and the mouthwashes were injected into the wells. Results: In the present study, chlorhexidine oral and anti-gastritis mouthwash, both has the highest value of diameter the non-growth bacterial zone in the medium of CSA (Campylobacter Selective Agar); were both 1.8 cm and 90 μL volume and there weren’t statistically significant differences between two mouthwashes. Conclusion: Anti-gastric oral mouthwash containing the main extract of green tea plant is effective in controlling commercially available chlorhexidine oral mouthwash against oral Helicobacter pylori bacteria. Because of the herbal nature of this oral mouthwash, this oral mouthwash can be used in people which was not able to use chlorhexidine due to its side effects.
