Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of DMAHDM, DMADDM and CHX dissolved in culture medium against planktonic S. mutans (mean ± SD; n = 3). MIC is the lowest concentration of an antimicrobial agent at which bacterial growth is completely inhibited. MIC was measured from passages 0 to 20. Each subsequent passage used the surviving bacteria from the previous passage that were exposed to the antibacterial agent, in order to test drug resistance. DMAHDM, DMADDM and CHX induced no drug resistance in S. mutans in 20 passages.
