I saw this article the other day(4-8-2008).What do you think guys,Will be our cure?,Who know.regards.
Biologists say they've identified the bacteria responsible for most cases of bad breath - Solobacterium moorei, which uses the tongue as a base on which to brew its halitosis-provoking fatty acids and malodorous compounds.

Two studies helped researchers confirm the findings, Reuters reports. One by the Buffalo School of Dental Medicine probed 21 people with chronic bad breath and 36 without and found S. moorei "in every patient that had halitosis".

S. moorei was found in four of the comparison group, and while they were not yet polluting the air with foul emissions, "all had periodontitis, an infection of the gums that can also lead to chronically bad breath".

A previous study of of eight subjects with halitosis and five without showed S. moorei was "always found in patients with halitosis and never in patients who did not have this problem".

Dr Violet I Haraszthy, who participated in both studies, confirmed to Reuters: "A number of other studies have also found this bacterium in halitosis patients."

Haraszthy admitted that "not much is known about this particular organism", although Buffalo School of Dental Medicine student Betsy Clark concluded: "As we identify and find out more about the bacteria that cause bad breath, we can develop treatments to reduce their numbers in the mouth."

The biologists presented their findings to Saturday's annual meeting of the American Association for Dental Research in Dallas. ®

Solobacterium moorei is a bacterium that has been identified as a contributor to halitosis. It is a gram-positive anaerobic bacillus.

The genus Solobacterium is in the family Erysipelotrichaceae of the order Anaeroplasmatales.

YAy! this is great news for us! even though vitamin c and tung brush is working wonders for me, I want all of us to find relief. Please don't harp on the negative like some people on this forum who believe there will never be a cure. I have no doubt there will be a cure and very soon too!!!

Oh man that would be awesome to see what details she could give us about that study, for example, how they got their participants and what they deemed to be 'halitosis".

hey jimi,

The only sometime side effect from vitamin c is heart burn, but other than that nothing. I am very pleased to hear you more positive. You will be cured dude just believe it. If they are doing research that tells me it is a priority to cure us. Hell, they have to smell us too you know! lol
