Determination of the effect of dairy powders on adherence of Streptococcus sobrinus and Streptococcus salivarius to hydroxylapatite and growth of these bacteria

Inhibition of Streptococcus mutans binding to hydroxylapatite using partially digested whey protein concentrate and individual whey proteins

“…We screened a range of whey protein mixtures, some of which were also tested by Halpin et al (2008Halpin et al ( , 2011a as inhibitors of adhesion to S. mutans as well as S. sobrinus and S. salivarius (Halpin, Brady, O'Riordan, & O'Sullivan 2011b) using a variation on the Syto-13 assay. This served as a contrast to our experiments on WPD.…”
