Effects of Xylitol on Xylitol-Sensitive Versus Xylitol-Resistant Streptococcus mutans Strains in a Three-Species in Vitro Biofilm

Current Microbiology, 2012
We studied the effects of xylitol on biofilms containing xylitol-resistant (Xr) and xylitol-sensitive (Xs) Streptococcus mutans, Actinomyces naeslundii and S. sanguinis. The biofilms were grown for 8 and 24 h on hydroxyapatite discs. The viable microorganisms were determined by plate culturing techniques and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH ...

Alcoholic Compounds–Physical Properties and Classification Categories, Including Monohydric, Dihydric, Polyhydric and Carbohydrate Derivatives

ChemPhysChem, EarlyView.
The refractive index, static electric constant, and ET(30) polarity of monohydric and polyhydric alcohols, as well as carbohydrates, are determined by the complex interplay between the concentrations of CH and COH bonds. Correlation of the refractive index of carbohydrates as a function of the molar concentration of the constituting CH bonds, NCH ...

A Randomized Crossover Clinical Study to Assess the Effect of Oral Nicotine Pouches Used for Different Durations on Plasma Nicotine Pharmacokinetics in Healthy Oral Pouch Consumers

The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Oral nicotine pouches (NPs), although addictive and not risk‐free, have potential application for a tobacco harm reduction approach. This study aims to further characterize their ability to deliver nicotine effectively. This randomized seven‐way crossover PK study in healthy oral pouch consumers evaluated 11 and 20 mg NPs used for 10, 20, and ...

Sustainable Shell Formulations as Alternative to the Conventional Soft Gelatin Capsules in Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical Applications. A Review.

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
In soft capsules (SCs), four crucial factors can modify the properties of the shell: the shell formulation, its interaction with the fill material, the SC production and its storage conditions. Gelatin is the most used gelling agent for SCs nowadays, but they have some drawbacks which can be solved including other alternative polymers in the shell ...

Use of chewing gum containing 15% of xylitol and reduction in mutans streptococci salivary levels

Brazilian Oral Research, 2010
Frequent use of Xylitol may decrease the S. mutans levels. However, very little is known about whether this effect on the levels of cariogenic bacteria is maintained after the interruption of short-term usage of xylitol.
