Antibacterial Effect of High-purity Nisin Alone and in Combination with D-Amino Acids or Chlorhexidine in an Endodontic-like Biofilm Model

New strategies to eradicate endodontic biofilms are needed. Therefore, we evaluated the effect of high-purity nisin alone and in combination with D-amino acids (D-AAs) or chlorhexidine (CHX) against an “endodontic-like” biofilm model.
