Abstract
-
In general, an antimicrobial test for screening anti-caries natural extracts was performed by measuring the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) against the type strains of mutans streptococci. However, it is unclear if the antimicrobial efficiency of natural extracts on the type strains of mutans streptococci is the same on the clinical strains. In this study, we introduced a bacterial model system for the screening of anti-caries and determining the optimal concentration of them to develop oral hygiene products for Korean populations.
