Antiadhesive effects of xylitol on otopathogenic bacteria.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The exposure of either epithelial cells or pneumococci or both to 5% xylitol reduced the adherence of pneumococci. Exposure of epithelial cells or bacteria alone to xylitol did not reduce the adherence of Haemophilus influenzae, although the exposure of both cells and bacteria to xylitol reduced the adherence significantly. The adherence of Moraxella catarrhalis remained low irrespective of the exposure.

Real-time RT PCR Evaluation of the Xylitol Effect on the Expression of Streptococcus pneumoniae cpsB,cpsD and psaA Genes
Background and Objective: The major pneumococcal pathogenesis factor is the capsular polysaccharide. the production of polysaccharide is regulated by cpsB and cpsD genes. Thus, every agent that induce or inhibition of expression of these genes probably increased pathogenesis of bacteria, intracellular survival and vis versa. The aim of this study was to assay the effect of Xylitol on Streptococ...

The authors declare no conflict of interest. The caries-controlling or preventing effect of xylitol is more than just excluding fermentable sugars from the diet. This review aims to discuss the specific effects of xylitol which could have contributed to the results of the caries trials. Xylitol promotes mineralization by increasing the flow of saliva, an effect it has in common with all sweeten...

Not only is having a dry mouth uncomfortable, but it also contributes to tooth decay and to cavities because people with dry mouth do not produce enough saliva, which has bacterial properties. Chewing xylitol gum is a convenient and unobtrusive way of addressing both of these issues. Xylitol gum simulates saliva production, which helps relieve symptoms in more minor cases of dry mouth. In addit...
