Anti-biofilm Activities from Bergenia crassifolia Leaves against Streptococcus mutans

Anti-biofilm Activities from Bergenia crassifolia Leaves against Streptococcus mutans

Streptococcus mutans has been reported as a primary cariogenic pathogen associated with dental caries. The bacteria can produce glucosyltransferases (Gtfs) to synthesize extracellular polysaccharides (EPSs) that are known as virulence factors for adherence and formation of biofilms. Therefore, an id...
