The Effects of Fractions from Shiitake Mushroom on Composition and Cariogenicity of Dental Plaque Microcosms in an In Vitro Caries Model

Figure 5

Relative proportions of microorganisms in microcosm samples. The other bacteria were calculated as the difference between the universal probe counts and the sum of the 8 targeted probe counts. The data are average from 6 samples obtained in 2 CDFF runs per treatment. CHX—chlorhexidine digluconate; MLMW—mushroom low molecular weight fraction; SF4—subfraction nr 4 of MLMW fraction; SF5—subfraction nr 5 of MLMW fraction.
