The effect of Lactobacillus plantarum on expression of biofilm genes of Streptococcus mutans isolated from dental caries
Background: Dental caries and decay caused by Streptococcus mutans.Sucrose, stimulates S.mutans to yield insoluble glucans to form oral biofilm also called dental plaque to start process of caries.The GtfB and LuxS genes of S.mutans are responsible for development and evolution of biofilm.Lactobacillus plantarum as probiotic can affect the biofilm
