Inhibition of Streptococcus gordonii Metabolic Activity in Biofilm by Cranberry Juice High-Molecular-Weight Component
Table 1
Effect of cranberry NDM on the metabolic activity of S. gordonii growing in culture media measured by XTT assay.

Bacterial biofilm prepared as described previously was treated with varying concentrations of NDM (2.5 μg/mL to 100 μg/mL) for 60 minutes and 4 hours. The metabolic activity was determined by XTT assay and the biofilm mass determined by the crystal violet staining. |
