Effect of Lonicera caerulea var. emphyllocalyx Fruit on Biofilm Formed by Porphyromonas gingivalis

Figure 4

Dose-dependent inhibitory effect of LCEE on biofilm formation by P. gingivalis. P gingivalis JCM12257 was treated with or without LCEE (125, 250, and 500 μg/mL) for 72 h. (a) Image of polypropylene tube. (b) Biofilm formation was quantified by safranin red adsorption at 490 nm. Data represent the mean ± SD (n = 3). compared to untreated group evaluated by Turkey/Bonnferoni’s multiple comparison test. LCEE: Lonicera caerulea var. emphyllocalyx extract.
