My suspicion is that you weren’t rinsing your mouth thoroughly. H2O2 can cause Black Tongue. Rinse your mouth with diluted hydrogen peroxide (one part peroxide to five parts water to avoid this condition.

is it makes you spontaneously sing like Ethel Merman, and break wind at the same time.

Heck, I do that now.

Would the reduction in toxin production extend beyond the individual taking the medication? If the bacteria are not killed, do they remain as an infection, only without killing the host taking the medication, yet remain a health threat to persons not taking the medication who might contract an infection from those who remain infected?

With community acquired MRSA already noted, this might only put more 'carriers' in society, (and make more need the drug to keep the infection from being harmful) rather than eliminate the harmful strains from individuals or the general environment.

djf had a similar question about chronic carriers. I don't know, but we already have a lot of community acquired MRSA.

If feasible, hospitals will go for prophylactic antivirulence drugs because they don't get paid for treating hospital acquired MRSA. So we should find out eventually.
