Abstract
APAZA-APAZA, Rotciv Anginovi et al. Effects of xylitol on bacterial growth against Streptococcus sanguinis: In vitro study. Odontoestomatología [online]. 2022, vol.24, n.40, e226. Epub Dec 01, 2022. ISSN 0797-0374. https://doi.org/10.22592/ode2022n40e226.
Streptococcus sanguinis forms part of the oral biofilm, has a decisive role in the development of prevalent oral diseases and acts as an opportunistic pathogen at the systemic level.
Aims:
To evaluate in vitro the effects of xylitol on bacterial growth against Streptococcus sanguinis (ATCC 10556).
Methods:
The study sample was distributed into 6 groups: 4 experimental groups (1M; 0,75M; 0,50M and 0,25M xylitol), a negative control (distilled water) and a positive control (chlorhexidine). The statistical analysis was done using the statistical software Infostat and the tests used t-Student, ANOVA and Tukey to test the hypothesis.
Results:
different concentrations of xylitol (0,25M; 0,50M; 0,75M and 1M) caused an inhibition halo between 9,89 - 12,89 mm (24 hours) and 10,85 - 13,45 mm (48 hours).
Conclusions:
different concentrations of xylitol inhibit the bacterial growth of Streptococcus sanguinis, this inhibitory effect increases with higher concentration and exposure time.
Keywords : Xylitol; Streptococcus sanguinis; Bacterial Growth.
