Probiobucco: 5 Probiotic strains for oral health

APPLICATIONS

• The Bacteriology of Oral Diseases Laboratory has identified 5 lactobacilli with beneficial effects on the oral cavity.
• These 5 probiotic strains target oral care market:
  • Periodontal disease (gingivitis and periodontitis),
  • Halitosis (bad breath),
  • Caries.

DESCRIPTION

The 5 strains followed the same selection procedure :

• Adhesion test on glass tube: verification of the production of exopolysaccharides confirming that the bacteria can adhere to hard tissues,
• Hydrophobicity test,
• Co-aggregation test with bacteria responsible for periodontal disease and halitosis,
• Test of antibacterial activity against potentially pathogenic strains in the oral cavity,
• Saliva survival test: resistance and stability of probiotic candidates in the salivary environment.
• Safety Test: Verification that strains do not produce compounds responsible for bad breath,
• Immunogenicity test to understand the local immune response.

BENEFITS

Benefits of Probiotics VS Antibiotics / Antiseptics in Oral Health:

• Rebalancing of the microbial sphere.
• Difficulty of action of antibiotics / antiseptics in dental plaque.
• Probiotic bacteria are an integral part of dental plaque.

MATURATION

The maturation with Aquitaine Science Transfert leads to the characterization of 70 buccal lactobacilli strains
