Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibitory effects of cranberry polyphenols on formation and acidogenicity of Streptococcus mutans biofilms
Simone Duarte,Stacy Gregoire,Ajay P. Singh,Nicholi Vorsa,Karen M. Schaich,William H. Bowen,Hyun Koo +6 more
TL;DR: Proanthocyanidins and flavonols are the active constituents of cranberry against S. mutans, and biofilm development and acidogenicity were significantly affected by topical applications of PAC and FLAV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Cranberry Proanthocyanidins on Formation of Biofilms by Streptococcus mutans on Saliva-Coated Apatitic Surface and on Dental Caries Development in vivo
Hyun Koo,Simone Duarte,Ramiro Mendonça Murata,Kathy Scott-Anne,Stacy Gregoire,Gene E. Watson,Ajay P. Singh,Nicholi Vorsa +7 more
TL;DR: The data show that cranberry PAC reduced the formation of biofilms by S. mutans in vitro and dental caries development in vivo, which may be attributed to the presence of specific bioactive A-type dimers and oligomers.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of a novel propolis on mutans streptococci biofilms and caries development in rats.
Simone Duarte,Pedro Luiz Rosalen,Mitsue Fujimaki Hayacibara,Jaime Aparecido Cury,William H. Bowen,Robert E. Marquis,Vera Lúcia Garcia Rehder,Adilson Sartoratto,Masaharu Ikegaki,Hyun Koo +9 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that the cariostatic properties of propolis type 6 are related to its effect on acid production and acid tolerance of cariogenic streptococci; the biological activities may be attributed to its high content of fatty acids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural and molecular basis of the role of starch and sucrose in streptococcus mutans biofilm development
TL;DR: The interaction of sucrose and starch with bacterial glucosyltransferases and human salivary amylase may enhance the pathogenic potential of Streptococcus mutans within biofilms by influencing the structural organization of the extracellular matrix and modulating the expression of genes involved in exopolysaccharide synthesis and specific sugar transport and two-component systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of a Novel Type of Propolis and Its Chemical Fractions on Glucosyltransferases and on Growth and Adherence of Mutans Streptococci
Simone Duarte,Hyun Koo,William H. Bowen,Mitsue Fujimaki Hayacibara,Jaime Aparecido Cury,Masaharu Ikegaki,Pedro Luiz Rosalen +6 more
TL;DR: The data showed that propolis type 6 remarkably reduced GTF activity and inhibited mutans streptococci growth and adherence; these biological activities are associated with its nonpolar components.
