I'm doing an experiment pertaining to finding out which toothpaste combats bacteria best. I am 
planning on swiping a Q-tip in the inside of my mouth and putting it on an agar plate. How should I 
apply the toothpaste? I read that I can use sterile filter discs, but I tried to find out what those were and 
haven't been able to find out what they are. Is there a better way that you know of? Thank you very 
much!!
