Determination of Microbial Load Accumulating in Paper Mouth and Face Masks and Obtaining Antimicrobial Properties with Chamomile Extract

The aim of this study was to determine the microfungi and bacteria accumulated in different usage periods paper mouth face masks which are used for protection against many areas give antimicrobial properties these by impregnating Chamomile extract with high properties. Disc diffusion test applied study. (3-6-12 hours) were cultured on media calculate microbial load. Nutrient Agar Malt Extract bacterial loads. Then, mask impregnated concentrations chamomile loads compared. results show that use masks, where fungus flora is low rich, has effect reducing These concentration can be first aid units, clinics, surgery, dental units so on. places prevent spread infection. At same time, expected source similar studies.
