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

Figure 5

Time-dependent inhibitory effect of LCEE on biofilm formation by P. gingivalis. P gingivalis JCM12257 was treated with or without LCEE (500 μg/mL) for 24, 48, 72, or 96 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 each untreated group evaluated by Student’s t-test. LCEE: Lonicera caerulea var. emphyllocalyx extract.
