Antibacterial Effect of Honey-Derived Exosomes Containing Antimicrobial Peptides Against Oral Streptococci

Abstract

Honey is a promising new source of highly active EVs with exosomal origin, containing a number of antibacterial peptides as cargo molecules. Furthermore, the differential effect of HEC-EVs on <i>S. mutans</i> and <i>S. sanguinis</i> may serve as a novel biofilm-modulating strategy in dental caries.
