Abstract

This experiment evaluates the antibacterial effect of solid soaps on the acne causing bacteria which is called Propionibacterium acnes. Acne is a skin disease which occurs because of this type of bacteria and a soap is a chemical matter which is used for cleaning. The research question of this investigation is : “Does the different kind of solid soaps given to the Propionibacterium acnes, including daisy, rose, bay, carnation and olive oil, affect the bacteria which are in identical conditions and have an average length of 1.5 nanometers by measuring the length after adding the soap solutions with the help of a compound microscope at 34ºC and 1067 hPa pressure?” In the experiment, I got the sample of bacteria to use from a person’s skin and made it reproduce in a blood agar base which sets an optimum condition for bacteria to reproduce. I prepared solutions including 5 grams of soap and 50 mL water for every kind of soap. I put the solutions in the bacterial cell and measured the change in the length of it. This method is similar to Kirby- Bauer method but it differs in some ways. I also prepared a control group to be sure the response of bacterial cell to solution is caused because of the soap. I used ANOVA-Single Factor to analyze my quantitative data. I concluded that solid soap effect the size of the bacteria used in a positive way according to a teenager in other words the solution including the soap caused the bacteria become smaller. In addition, the most effective soap is found to be bay soap while the least effective one is carnation soap.
