An in vitro study of probiotic activity exhibited by Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus rhamnosus on oral isolates of Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans

Background: Oral infections caused by microorganisms have led to increased risk of oral health problems like dental caries (DC). Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans are the organisms responsible for DC. The goal presented study was investigate potential probiotics prevent treat An in vitro assay developed several probiotic strains their ability inhibit aforementioned pathogens. Methods: 40 isolates 51 were tested activity against Lactobacillus acidophilus rhamnosus using agar overlay interference technique as prescribed Fleming et al. Results: zone inhibition shown L. higher than albicans. Conclusions: In conclusion two exhibited inhibitory on S. C. respectively vitro.
