and serve a protective purpose. Made out of sugars and proteins‚ they are antiphagocytic‚ which prevents other cells to engulf the bacteria through phagocytosis. It helps the bacterial cell to adhere to host cells‚ and can help in the formation of biofilm. For the capsule staining‚ the bacteria Klebsiella Pneumoniae was utilized. It is a facultative anaerobe‚ meaning it can survive with or without oxygen present.

Antibacterial action of the irrigants against Enterococcus faecalis in the root canal The overall percentage reduction of E. faecalis inside the root canal after biomechanical procedures was presented in table1. All the irrigants significantly reduced bacteria in comparison with positive control group (P< 0.01). The average reduction of bacteria in the presence of E.galbie did not have any significant difference with 2.5% NaOCl‚ CHX 2%‚ CHX 0.2% and M.communis L. (P > 0.05). The average reduction
