Antimicrobial activity of varying concentrations of sodium hypochlorite on the endodontic microorganisms <i>Actinomyces israelii</i>, <i>A. naeslundii</i>, <i>Candida albicans</i> and <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i>

Abstract

The published association of E. faecalis with refractory endodontic infection may result, at least partially, from high resistance of this species to NaOCl. This does not appear to be the case with A. naeslundii or C. albicans.
