It is largely believed that EGCG inhibits the growth of cariogenic and periodontopathic bacteria. Objective: In this paper we compared the inhibitory activity of EGCG and a commercial GTE on the growth of Veillonella parvula. Chlorhexidine was used as positive control. Methodology: V. parvula ATCC 10790 and a clinical isolate obtained from a periodontal disease patient were cultured in the presence of EGCG or a commercial GTE, and the measurements of bacterial growth inhibition were compared to the values obtained with 0.12 and 0.2% chlorhexidine. Results: Chlorhexidine inhibited bacterial growth, however in contrast to a previous report, neither EGCG nor the GTE showed any effect on bacterial growth. Conclusions: The data show and confirm that chlorhexidine is a growth inhibitor of V. parvula while EGCG and GTE do not display such effect.展开更多

Methods: To examine bacterial populations in the oral cavity, a novel selective medium (OVSM) and multiplex PCR method were developed for isolating and identifying oral Veillonella species. OVSM consists of tryptic soy agar, sheep blood, sodium lactate, vancomycin, and oxacillin. Results: Oral Veillonella species grew well on OVSM. Oral Veillonella species accounted for 5.4% and 27.2%, respectively, of all bacteria in the tongue biofilm samples of healthy and halitosis subjects. Oral Veillonella species produced larger amounts of volatile sulfur compounds than other representative oral bacteria. Conclusion: These results indicate that monitoring the levels of these organisms is useful as a clinical indicator for the diagnosis of halitosis.展开更多
