INFLUENCE OF LACTOBACILLUS RHAMNOSUS GG METABOLITES ON GROWTH OF PERIODONTAL DISEASES BACTERIA
Journal Title: ELECTRONIC JOURNAL OF POLISH AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITIES - Year 2012, Vol 15, Issue 2
Abstract
Taking into consideration biochemical and physiological properties and previously obtained results, it was decided to determine the influence of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (L.GG) metabolites on in vitro growth of selected aerobic and anaerobic bacteria being the cause of inflammatory changes within parodontium and gingiva. To prevent possible L.GG in vitro invasion the bacteria were enclosed inside alginate microcapsules. The metabolites of L.GG immobilised in microcapsules displayed inhibitory effect on growth of some pathogenic anaerobic bacteria causing periodontitis – Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans and Porphyromonas gingivalis. Moreover the metabolites from L.GG immobilised in microcapsules inhibited the growth of Actinomyces odontolyticus, Actinomyces naeslundii, Actinomyces israelii, Neisseria ssp. and Haemophilus influenzae, bacteria causing gingivitis.
