Antibacterial and antibiofilm activity of the cell-free supernatant of lactic acid bacteria from burong mustasa against streptococcus mutans

Dental caries, a non-communicable disease, is a major global health problem mainly caused by Streptococcus mutans. The pathogen of interest is known to infect the oral cavity through biofilm formation. For the mitigation of the pathogen, this study focused on burong mustasa, which is a Philippine fe...
