Effect of LongZhang Gargle on Biofilm Formation and Acidogenicity of Streptococcus mutans In Vitro

Figure 4

Effect of LongZhang Gargle on the acid production of S. mutans. S. mutans was incubated in BHI broth with LongZhang Gargle at concentrations of 0, 1% (1/16 MIC), 2% (1/8 MIC), 4% (1/4 MIC), and 8% (1/2 MIC). Glycolytic acid production was determined by monitoring the pH drop in glucose solution (1% wt/vol) at 15 min intervals over a period of 120 min.
