Effect of LongZhang Gargle on Dual-Species Biofilm of Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans

In conclusion, LongZhang Gargle affects single and dual-species biofilms by inhibiting biofilm biomass, cell activity, and formation of hyphae, but it does not affect the production of Extracellular polysaccharides (EPS). We speculate that LongZhang Gargle would be a promising natural drug, which can be used in treatment against C. albicans and S. mutans in oral diseases.PMID:33824875 | PMC:PMC8007335 | DOI:10.1155/2021/6654793
