Bacteria residing in oral biofilms live in a state of dynamic equilibrium with one another. The
intricate synergistic or antagonistic interactions between them are crucial for determining this …

Biofilms are polymicrobial, with diverse bacterial species competing for limited space and
nutrients. Under healthy conditions, the different species in biofilms maintain an ecological …

Homeostasis of oral microbiota can be maintained through microbial interactions. Previous
studies showed that Streptococcus oligofermentans, a non-mutans streptococci frequently …

The oral microbial flora comprises one of the most diverse human-associated biofilms. Its
development is heavily influenced by oral streptococci, which are considered the main …

Background Microbial cell-cell interactions in the oral flora are believed to play an integral
role in the development of dental plaque and ultimately, its pathogenicity. The effects of …

The human mucosal surface is colonized by the indigenous microflora, which normally
maintains an ecological balance among different species. Certain environmental or …

The oral cavity harbors several hundred different bacterial species that colonize both hard
(teeth) and soft tissues, forming complex populations known as microbial biofilms. It is widely …

Biofilms are polymicrobial communities that grow on surfaces in nature. Oral bacteria can
spontaneously form biofilms on the surface of teeth, which may compromise the health of the …

Background Dental caries is a chronic, multifactorial and biofilm-mediated oral bacterial
infection affecting almost every age group and every geographical region. Streptococcus …

The 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 …
