Streptococcus Mutans: Effect of Citrus Lemon Oil On Growth and Adherence of by jntalfrdws610 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The study investigates the effects of citrus lemon oil (CLO) on the growth and adherence of Streptococcus mutans, a primary cariogenic bacterium. Results indicate that CLO effectively inhibits S. mutans growth and adherence to both glass and saliva-coated enamel surfaces, with a minimum inhibitory concentration of 4.5 mg/ml. Additionally, CLO reduces the activity of glucosyltransferases, which are crucial for dental plaque formation, suggesting its potential as an anticaries agent.
