  • Title: Composition and susceptibility to chlorhexidine of multispecies biofilms of oral bacteria.
    Author: Pratten J, Barnett P, Wilson M.
    Journal: Appl Environ Microbiol; 1998 Sep; 64(9):3515-9. PubMed ID: 9726908.
    Abstract:
    Using a constant-depth film fermentor, we have grown a six-membered biofilm community with a bacterial composition similar to that found in supragingival dental plaque. Cryosectioning revealed the distribution of bacteria throughout the biofilm. Exposure to 0.2% chlorhexidine for up to 5 min had little effect on biofilm viability.
