Biofilm formation by Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans in the presence of farnesol: a quantitative evaluation
(2016-03-15)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the QS molecule farnesol on single and mixed species biofilms formed by Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans. The anti-biofilm effect of farnesol was assessed through ...
Effect of sodium hexametaphosphate and fluoride on dual-species biofilms of Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans
(2021-01-01)
This study evaluated the effect of sodium hexametaphosphate (HMP), administered alone or in combination with fluoride (F), on dual-species biofilms of Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans. Biofilms were treated with ...
Evaluation of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy against Streptococcus mutans biofilm in situ
(2016-01-01)
Aim: This study investigated the effect of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) over Streptococcus mutans biofilm. Materials and methods: Eighteen (n = 18) patients were selected and one palatine device with dental ...
Virulence Factors of Streptococcus mutans Related to Dental Caries
(2020)
Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) has important virulence factors related to theetiology and pathogenesis of dental caries. Through mechanism of adhesion to asolid surface, S. mutans is able to colonize the oral cavity and ...
Inhibitory effect of probiotic Lactobacillus supernatants from the oral cavity on Streptococcus mutans biofilms
(2018-10-01)
Probiotics can release bioactive substances that can inhibit the growth and biofilm formation of pathogenic microorganisms such as Streptococcus mutans. In this context, we evaluated whether the supernatants of Lactobacillus ...
Competition and caries on enamel of a dual-species biofilm model with streptococcus mutans and streptococcus sanguinis
(Amer Soc Microbiology, 2020)
Imbalances within the dental biofilm trigger dental caries, currently considered a dysbiosis and the most prevalent noncommunicable disease. There is still a gap in knowledge about the dynamics of enamel colonization by ...
Antibacterial activity of Baccharis dracunculifolia in planktonic cultures and biofilms of Streptococcus mutans
(2016-05-01)
Streptococcus mutans is an important cariogenic microorganism, and alternative methods for its elimination are required. Different concentrations of Baccharis dracunculifolia essential oil (EO) were tested to determine its ...
Streptococcus mutans and actinomyces naeslundii interaction in dual-species biofilm
(2020-02-01)
The study of bacterial interaction between Streptococcus mutans and Actinomyces naeslundii may disclose important features of biofilm interspecies relationships. The aim of this study was to characterize—with an emphasis ...
