XYLITOL METABOLISM IN XYLITOL‐SENSITIVE AND XYLITOL‐RESISTANT STRAINS OF STREPTOCOCCI

Acta Pathologica Microbiologica Scandinavica Series B: Microbiology, 1986
The metabolism of xylitol in xylitol‐sensitive strains (strains whose growth is inhibited by xylitol) and xylitol‐resistant strains (growth not inhibited) of oral streptococci was compared. Both xylitol‐sensitive and xylitol‐resistant strains took up xylitol.

Xylitol Concentrations in the Saliva of Children After Chewing Xylitol Gum or Consuming a Xylitol Mixture

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2002
Xylitol prevents otitis media when given to children regularly five times per day. To find a more convenient dosing schedule, an enzymatic assay was used to measure xylitol concentrations in the saliva of 65 children after giving them xylitol chewing gum or syrup in doses equal to those used in clinical trials.
