Inhibitory Effects of Ethyl Gallate on <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> Biofilm Formation by Optical Profilometry and Gene Expression Analysis

Inhibitory Effects of Ethyl Gallate on <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> Biofilm Formation by Optical Profilometry and Gene Expression Analysis

This study aimed to test the effectiveness of ethyl gallate (EG) against <i>S. mutans</i> biofilm formation on solid surfaces (polystyrene, glass) and acidogenicity, and to examine the effect on expression of related genes. The biofilm that is formed by <i>S. mutans</i> bacte...
