Salivary diagnostics is a dynamic and emerging field utilizing nanotechnology and molecular diagnostics to aid in the diagnosis of oral and systemic diseases. An antibiotic is any substance that delays with the ability of bacteria to function normally. Data from the previous literature shows that there has been continuous research for utilization of human saliva as medium for testing antibiotic sensitivity. Hence; we have tried to summarize some of the important aspects of human saliva and their role in acting as a medium for antibiotic testing.
