- [1.1]
- Some members of the genera #Porphyromonas, #Prevotella, and #Tannerella are well-known pathogens of the oral cavity, where they can notably cause #Periodontal disease and dental caries. - [1.2]
- #Candida-infected individuals had 2.3 times more dental caries than those without #Candida in their oral cavity - [1.3]
- #3,3′-Diindolylmethane (DIM), in mitigating the pathogenicity of the oral biofilm inhabiting bacterium #Streptococcus mutans, a bacterium that is considered to be a principal etiological agent in dental caries. - DIM was able to attenuate S. mutans biofilm formation by 92%. - treatment with DIM lowered extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) production and decreased its durability significantly under acidic conditions.
