Effects of glucose and lactate on Streptococcus mutans abundance in a novel multispecies oral biofilm model

Effects of glucose and lactate on Streptococcus mutans abundance in a novel multispecies oral biofilm model

ABSTRACTThe oral microbiome plays an important role in protecting oral health. Here, we established a controlled mixed-species in vitro biofilm model and used it to assess the impact of glucose and lactate on the ability of Streptococcus mutans, an acidogenic and aciduric species, to compete with co...
