The effect of five probiotic lactobacilli strains on the growth and biofilm formation of <i><scp>S</scp>treptococcus mutans</i>

Abstract

All five probiotic lactobacilli strains inhibited the growth and biofilm formation of MS, likely through the production of an acid environment, bacteriocin-like poly peptides, or both, and the effects on MS were dependent on the LB strains used.
