“…This is important as it has been shown that the use of biocides can select for a bacterial sub-population which may have different growth characteristics (Maillard 2007) and which may then have a different effect on the host tissues. Bacteria that survive exposure to sub-MIC levels of biocides may develop a resistant to the biocide, and in some cases this can lead to further resistance to other biocides or antibiotics which have a similar mechanism of action (Cottell et al 2009). This may be of particular significance with SAG bacteria due to their role in abscess formation, as antibiotics are commonly used in treatment of abscesses.…”

“…Streptococcus species, by disrupting the phospholipid membrane of bacteria and interfere with its normal functions (Cottell et al 2009;Villalain et al 2001). Leakage titration experiments have been used to study the effects of triclosan on the bacterial membrane of the oral bacteria Pseudomonas ginigivalis and Streptococcus sohrinus, which showed that whilst the bacterial growth was inhibited there was negligible cell leakage.…”

“…Recently, US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has suggested that TCS could cause potential human health effects, so they have started to conduct a review of TCS this year (http:// www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/REDs/factsheets/triclosan_fs.htm). Additionally, it is also necessary to improve our knowledge on the environmental fate of TCS due to its possible bioaccumulation and toxicity in organisms, as well as the possibility of this compound promoting the predominance of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (Cottell et al, 2009).…”

“…There is therefore growing concern about their potential risk in soils and the receiving aquatic environment. As examples, bioaccumulation in fish has been measured for some hydrophobic PPCPs (UV filters, fragrances…) [8]; antibiotics can promote resistant bacteria populations [9]; and endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) may cause hermaphroditism [10].…”
