A total of 117 different locations, including mouthpieces, internal rooms and cases, were tested 13 before playing high school band instruments. Six of the instruments were played during the test week and seven were not touched in about a month. These instruments produce 442 different bacteria, many of which are staphylococcal species that cause staph infections. In addition, 58 molds and 19 yeasts were found.
Dr. Grass said: "Parents may not be aware that the molds in their children's tools may contribute to the development of asthma.
In addition, the yeast on the device often causes skin infections around the mouth and mouth ("red lips").
AGD spokesman DDS, FAGD said: "As these instruments come into contact with the oral cavity, there is no doubt that they are places where bacteria are breeding." As a dentist, we saw the same growth in dentures, sports braces and toothbrushes. "
