Identification of a new probiotic strain, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum VHProbi^® V38, and its use as an oral health agent.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Probiotics can be used to treat oral diseases such as dental caries, gingivitis, periodontitis, and halitosis.

Methods

This study screened for strains capable of inhibiting Streptococcus mutans,one of the primary pathogenic bacteria responsible for dental caries by agar diffusion in different samples. Strain identification was performed by 16S rDNA sequencing and the API 50CH system. The potential functions of the strains in terms of oral health properties were also tested by agglutination assays, growth inhibition assays, adhesion assays, biofilm removal assays and inhibition of adhesion in human primary gingival epithelial (HPGE) cells assays.

Results

This study identified a probiotic strain from fermented cabbages that has a strong inhibitory ef
