OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of five probiotic lactobacilli strains on the growth and biofilm formation of Streptococcus mutans (MS). METHODS:

MATERIALS AND

Five probiotic lactobacilli bacteria (LB): L. casei Shirota, L. casei

LC01, L. plantarum ST-III, L. paracasei Lpc-37, L. rhamnosus HN001 were used as test strains effecting on the Streptococci strain S. mutans UA159 in this study. The effect of LB strains and their supernatants on the viability of the MS was evaluated. Then, the effect of LB strains on the growth of MS biofilm formation was observed This article has been accepted for publication and undergone full peer review but has not been through the copyediting, typesetting, pagination and proofreading process, which may lead to differences between this version and the Version of Record.
