Rapid quantitative determination of the effect of antiplaque agents and antisera on the growth, acid production, and adherence of Streptococcus mutans.

A rapid quantitative in vitro assay measured the effects of antiplaque agents and antiserum on growth and sucrose-mediated adherence of radio-labeled S. mutans 6715. Acid production was measured by change in pH. In this assay the primary effect of chlorhexidine and fluoride was bacteriostasis and inhibition of acid production, respectively; the primary effect of dextran, dextranase, and specific antiserum was inhibition of sucrose-mediated adherence.
