Effect of sonic treatment on pure cultures and aggregates of bacteria.

S A Robrish, S B Grove, R S Bernstein, P T Marucha, S S Socransky and B Amdur

ABSTRACT

Pure cultures of a variety of bacteria were treated with ultrasonic energy using a sonic probe. Fractions of organisms killed at different sonic energies were calculated, and Streptococcus mutans was 600 times more resistant than Fusobacterium nucleatum, the most sensitive organism tested. The effects of sonic treatment on aggregates of bacteria were examined, and the results were interpreted as a model of the events that probably occur during the sonic dispersion of dental plaque.
