Abstract

Caries is still considered one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide. For this reason, in recent years various prevention strategies have been developed with the purpose of managing this disease. Different oral cavity bacterial species part of the normal microbiota produce antibacterial antagonistic substances. Objective: The objective of this study was to identify some species of Lactobacillus genus that produce antagonistic substances against Streptococcus mutans from saliva of children with and without caries. Materials and methods: Different Lactobacillus strains were isolated from saliva of 60 children with caries, without active decay (rehabilitated) and free of caries. The antagonistic capacity against strains of Streptococcus mutans was studied, by means of tests in double layer, test of the well and about bacterial growth. Results: Lactobacillus strains that produced substances with greater antagonistic capacity were identified as Lactobacillus fermentum by Api test 50 CH. Conclusions: It was found that Lactobacillus fermentum is present in a larger percentage among children without caries which could suggest a natural biological control effect by this bacterial strain.
