Anti adhesion-based therapy of bacterial infections have been recognised as new promising alternative approach as resistance of bacteria to the commercial available antiobiotics is constantly on the rise. This approach has been studied on oral bacteria using various food stuff as source to obtain fractions that inhibit bacterial inter-genera or inter-species interactions, also known as coaggregation, and the adhesion of oral bacteria to cells and teeth. In this study we tested extracts and fractions from fruits and vegetables for their ability to inhibit adhesion and coaggregation of oral bacteria.

Abstract
Anti adhesion-based therapy of bacterial infections have been recognised as new promising alternative approach as resistance of bacteria to the commercial available antiobiotics is constantly on the rise. This approach has been studied on oral bacteria using various food stuff as source to obtain fractions that inhibit bacterial inter-genera or inter-species interactions, also known as coaggregation, and the adhesion of oral bacteria to cells and teeth. In this study we tested extracts and fractions from fruits and vegetables for their ability to inhibit adhesion and coaggregation of oral bacteria.File in questo prodotto:
