Effects of a Chlorhexidine Gluconate-Containing Mouthwash on the Vitality and Antimicrobial Susceptibility of In Vitro Oral Bacterial Ecosystems

Abstract: Oral bacterial microcosms, established using saliva inocula from three individuals, were maintained under a feast-famine regime within constant-depth film fermenters. Steady-state communities were exposed four times daily, postfeeding, to a chlorhexidine (CHX) gluconate-containing mouthwash (CHXM) diluted to 0.06% (wt/vol) antimicrobial content. The microcosms were characterized by heterotrophic plate counts and PCRdenaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). CHXM caused significant decreases in both total … Show more

“…Effects of QAC exposure on biofilm communities were then investigated with a drain biofilm microcosm previously characterized and validated for stability and utility (27). These microcosms have previously been used to model the effects of TCS exposure in the home (28) and of biocide exposure of dental plaque communities (29,30). Differential plate counts and culture-independent methods (denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis [DGGE]), in conjunction with sequencing (31), were used to characterize the developed communities and the effects of QD exposure therein.…”

“…CHX cationic nature allows it to bind to the tooth surface and oral mucosa that inhibits the formation of dental plaque and prevent gingivitis. Rinse using CHX for 5 days can reduce the number of S. mutans between 30-50% and the repeated use of mouthwash that can lead to changes in the oral flora ecosystem (McBain et al, 2003). Distilled water is used for negative control or solvent in this study.…”

“…The temperature in mouth is in the range of 36.8°C, whereas during the infection increases up to 38.5°C. This is a factor which would increase the temperature of chlorhexidine applied in the form of lozenges (6). The crucial parameter in the formulation of a tablet with chlorhexidine would be the concentration of the drug in the oral cavity during the application of the lozenge.…”
