Association of Oral Microbiota Properties on Hyaluronidase and Biofilm Formation

Correlation between hyaluronidase (Hyl) activity and biofilm detachment in a few bacterial species was found. However, it is unclear if this association applies to or for more general characteristics. This study determined the production Hyl among isolates from oral cavity of healthy subjects, its with Gram staining group, colony surface morphology bacteria shape. The swab taken tongue, cheek entire teeth surfaces 35 tested through modified microtiter plate assay while screened HA rapid method. Forty-four were found, each 50% are Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria, majority cocci non-mucoid colony. More than 70% moderate strong; (n= 17, 38.6%) (n=15, 34.1%) respectively production; 68.2% producer. A significant found shape (p=0.018) (p=0.018), other not significantly measured, including (p=0.659). showed that affected by characteristics produce hyaluronidase. Meanwhile, prone rod mucoid which need further investigations.
