Effect of reduced nutritional supply on the metabolic activity and survival of cariogenic bacteria in vitro
Sealed cariogenic bacteria are deprived from dietary carbohydrate, but could be provided with nutrients by pulpal fluids, with adaptive strain-specific activities being possible. We investigated survival and metabolic activity of the cariogenic bacteria Streptococcus sobrinus, Actinomyces naeslundii...

Sealed cariogenic bacteria are deprived from dietary carbohydrate, but could be provided with nutrients by pulpal fluids, with adaptive strain-specific activities being possible. We investigated survival and metabolic activity of the cariogenic bacteria Streptococcus sobrinus, Actinomyces naeslundii and Lactobacillus rhamnosus in different carbohydrate-limited media without carbon source (CLM), or containing glucose (CLM-G), albumin (CLM-A), or α1-acid glycoprotein (CLM-AGP) in vitro. Bacterial metabolite concentrations (lactate, pyruvate, oxaloacetate, citrate, acetate, formate, ethanol, acetoin) after 20 and 4 hours incubation, and bacterial numbers (CFU) after 24 hours incubation were analyzed using multivariate-analysis-of-variance (MANOVA). The medium (p = 0.02/MANOVA), strain and incubation-time (both p < 0.001) had significant impact on metabolite concentrations. Bacteria secreted mainly lactate (80.3 µg/106 bacteria S. sobrinus) and acetate (54.5 µg/106 bacteria A. naeslundii). Nearly all metabolites were produced in higher concentrations in S. sobrinus than in A. naeslundii or L. rhamnosus (p < 0.05/HSD). Metabolite concentration was significantly higher in CLM-G than in other media for most metabolites (p < 0.05). L. rhamnosus showed significantly lower survival than S. sobrinus and A. naeslundii (p < 0.05/HSD) regardless of the media, while S. sobrinus and A. naeslundii showed medium-specific survival. Survival of carbon starvation was strain- and medium-specific. Sustained organic acid production was found for all strains and media. |
