| Abstract | Background: Antibiotic resistance has become life-threatening. A combination of metronidazole and amoxicillin is commonly used as adjunct to periodontal therapy. The aim of this study was to utilize an in vitro biofilm model to test the effect of replacing the broad-spectrum amoxicillin with penicillin V in the combination with metronidazole.Methods: An in vitro biofilm model, consisting of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum was developed. Biofilms were exposed to chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) 0.2%, as positive control, and either to metronidazole/amoxicillin or metronidazole/penicillin V in two different concentrations. Statistical significance was achieved if p < 0.05 with paired t-test.Results: There was no growth of any bacterial species after 2h exposure to 0.2% CHX. Together, the two combinations of antibiotics were effective against F. nucleatum and P. gingivalis, but less effective against A. actinomycetemcomitans. No significant difference was found between the two combinations of antibiotics to combat A. actinomycetemcomitans neither in high (p = 0.95) nor in low concentration (p = 0.17).Conclusion: A combination of metronidazole with penicillin V had similar inhibiting effect as metronidazole combined with amoxicillin on an in vitro three-species biofilm model. Use of a narrow spectrum antibiotic may be indicated in combination with metronidazole. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
