Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

I was browsing through old post on this forum as I am a new member and discover this post that I thought was really interesting. It's referring to a research study contributing the bacterial strain Solobacterium moorei as the cause for severe chronic halitosis. It was found in every persons mouth that suffer from halitosis. It is a newly discover bacterium that much isn't known about just yet I'm presuming. Has anyone read up on this or know anything further?

I notice the study to be a little old, have scientists found anything as a way to target this specific bacteria?

The link between Solobacterium Moorei and bad breath appears to be much stronger than that found for other species. In studies where researchers looked for the organism in the mouths of volunteers, they found it in virtually all subjects with oral malodor, and in almost none of those without the condition. In one study, subjects who did not have oral malodor, but who did have the bacterium, had another oral problem, such as periodontitis (inflammation of the gums). Of all the bacteria associated with halitosis so far, this new species appears the most likely to provide an answer and clues to a cure.

If research proves a causative relationship between Solobacterium Moorei and bad breath, we may be able to devise a way to get rid of a health problem that has resisted all attempts to deal with it for decades. Testing of antibiotics against the organism has shown that it is sensitive to many of the drugs already available to us. If doctors can determine how best to deliver the drug to regions of the mouth were the anaerobes live, oral malodor could be treated like any other infection. We may not have the whole story yet—there may be other bacteria associated with halitosis that scientists have yet to find—but we are one step closer to a real cure for bad breath.

This reminds me of the jobs I had when I first turned 18 and really began getting a hotter than normal mouth. I became a nurse aid working in nursing homes, but for three years I took care of a paralyzed women, who I had to help poop every other day. I always had this phobia that her house, specifially bathroom was fecal filled because of this messy bowel program she had to have. Now I realize that it is possible that I may have picked up some bacteria while working.
Anyone else have a job in the past where you possibly could have came into contact with someones fecal. There are many jobs, especially cleaning jobs or just comnig into contact with public restrooms daily. WHat if we suffer because one day when we were little we rushed out of the bathroom without washing.
