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

Figure 8

Inhibitory effect of LCEE on biofilm formation by P. gingivalis evaluated by SEM assay. P. gingivalis JCM12257 was treated with or without LCEE (500 μg/mL) for 72 h. Tracheal tube was involved in culture medium. Biofilm was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). (a) Untreated bacteria. (b) LCEE-treated bacteria. LCEE: Lonicera caerulea var. emphyllocalyx extract.
