Evaluation of Human Dental Plaque Lactic Acid Bacilli for Probiotic Potential and Functional Analysis in Relevance to Oral Health.

ABSTRACT: Members of the lactic acid bacillus group are well-known probiotics and primarily isolated from fermented food, dairy products, intestinal and gut environment of human. Since probiotics from the human source are preferred, there exists a huge repertoire of lactobacilli in the human oral cavity which could prove a much better niche to be exploited for these beneficial microorganisms. Therefore, in this study, four lactobacilli strains, including strain DISK7, reported earlier, isolated from dental plaque samples of a healthy humans were evaluated for their probiotic potential. Strains displayed 99.9% of 16S rRNA gene sequence identity with species of the genera Lactobacillus and Limosilactobacillus. All strains showed lactic acid production, tolerance to low pH and antibiotic
