  • Title: The effect of disaccharides on the plaque-forming potential of Streptoccoccus mutans.
    Author: Balekjian AY, Longton RW, Cole JS, Guidry MS.
    Journal: J Dent Res; 1977 Nov; 56(11):1359-63. PubMed ID: 274458.
    Abstract:
    The comparative and combined effects of sucrose, maltose, and lactose as factors on the plaque-forming potential of Streptococcus mutans were assessed. With increasing additions of maltose to sucrose-supplemented medium there was decreasing plaque formation. Lactose additions slightly increased plaque formation, but when combined with maltose they significantly enhanced the maltose inhibition of plaque formation.
