Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction between Streptococcus spp. and Veillonella tobetsuensis in the Early Stages of Oral Biofilm Formation
TL;DR: Results suggest that V. tobetsuensis produces signaling molecules that promote the proliferation of S. gordonii in biofilm formation, which may lead to the development of novel methods for the prevention of oral infectious diseases caused by oral biofilms.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of oral Veillonella species on biofilms formed by Streptococcus species
Izumi Mashima,Futoshi Nakazawa +1 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that the mode of action of this combination differed from that of the other combinations with respect to biofilm formation, and it is possible that there may be several factors involved in the interaction between Streptococcus and Veillonella species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploring the salivary microbiome of children stratified by the oral hygiene index
Izumi Mashima,Izumi Mashima,Izumi Mashima,Citra Fragrantia Theodorea,Citra Fragrantia Theodorea,Boonyanit Thaweboon,Sroisiri Thaweboon,Frank A. Scannapieco,Futoshi Nakazawa +8 more
TL;DR: This is the first study demonstrating an important association between increase of Veillonella and poor oral hygiene status in children, however, further studies are required to identify the majority of Veillsonella at species level in salivary microbiome of the Poor oral hygiene group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of Veillonella Species in the Tongue Biofilm by Using a Novel One-Step Polymerase Chain Reaction Method.
Izumi Mashima,Citra Fragrantia Theodorea,Boonyanit Thaweboon,Sroisiri Thaweboon,Futoshi Nakazawa +4 more
TL;DR: A successful novel one-step PCR method was established to detect Veillonella species in human oral cavities easily and effectively and there is a possibility that Veill onella species may be an index of oral hygiene status.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Distribution and Frequency of Oral Veillonella spp. in the Tongue Biofilm of Healthy Young Adults
TL;DR: This is the first report also demonstrating the availability of the species-specific primer sets for PCR to determine the distribution and frequency of oral Veillonella spp.
