Oral infections caused by microorganisms have led to increased risk of oral health problems such as Dental Caries (DC), periodontitis and Oral Candidiasis (OC). Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans are the primary organisms responsible for DC and OC, respectively. The goal of the presented study was to investigate the potential of probiotics to prevent and treat DC and OC. An in vitro assay was developed to investigate several probiotic strains for their ability to inhibit the aforementioned oral pathogens. Probiotic by-products present in probiotic supernatant and live probiotic cells were both investigated for their ability to inhibit the growth of S. mutans and C. albicans. The probiotic strains investigated were L. reuteri NCIMB 701359, L. reuteri NCIMB 701089, L. reuteri NCIMB 11951, L. reuteri NCIMB 702656,.. View More»
