- Abstract
The oral microbiome consists of diverse microorganisms inhabiting the mouth cavity. An imbalanced oral microbiome may lead to periodontitis and other oral diseases. Certain species in the oral microbiome may be able to produce antibiofilm compounds and play a protective role. Bacterial cultures were isolated from saliva samples of individuals and investigated for the ability to prevent biofilm formation in Staphylococcus epidermidis at different stages. A total of 14 isolates (11.97%) showed antibiofilm activities, primarily at the maturation and attachment stages. The results demonstrate the potential of these bacteria as probiotics for the improvement of oral health.
