swab from the patient’s mouth and the second from the Alginate impression. Each sample specimen's was
inoculated
onto appropriate plates, such as blood agar and MacConkey agar for standard aerobic
development, and used the biochemical characterization and identification of
these isolates at genus and
species levels was confirmed using the analytical profile index (API) assays, and then the automated device
VITEK 2. The result appear different signification between all the groups that divided to it that return to
Dental patients are high-risk patients relative to their potential to transmit as well as acquire
an infectious
disease.
