[Effects of storage conditions on the rate of disappearance of bacterial contamination of toothbrushes].

This investigation was made to show the effects of storage conditions on the decrease rate of bacterial contamination of tooth brushes. Tooth brushes were soaked into the broth cultures of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, and then kept either in closed containers or in free circulating room air. The germ counts were made 24, 48 and 72 hours later and found that the decreases were much more rapid in brushes who kept in free air.
