  • Title: Hydroquinone, a control agent of agglutination and adherence of Streptococcus mutans induced by sucrose.
    Author: Himejima M, Nihei K, Kubo I.
    Journal: Bioorg Med Chem; 2004 Mar 01; 12(5):921-5. PubMed ID: 14980604.
    Abstract:
    Hydroquinone was found to alter agglutination of Streptococcus mutans induced by sucrose. The newly formed agglutination product produced by hydroquinone does not kill this cariogenic bacterium and the formation is reversible. The agglutination altering activity of hydroquinone seems to be specific for strains of S. mutans. As a result, hydroquinone inhibits sucrose-induced adherence of S. mutans.
