Abstract

The present study aimed to determine the efficiency of mutacin 1140 extract in inhibiting and killing mutans and non-mutans streptococci. Mutacin 1140 was prepared from the culture medium of Streptococcus mutans JH1140 by extraction and purification with chloroform. Protein concentration of mutacin 1140 extract was determined by colorimetric detection with the bicinchoninic acid assay. Minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations of mutacin 1140 extract against six bacterial species (i.e., S. mutans, S. sobrinus, S. mitis, S. gordonii, S. sanguinis and S. salivarius) were determined by using broth microdilution assay. The time-kill assay for each bacteria was performed at the bactericidal concentration of mutacin 1140 extract for S. mutans. The results showed that mutacin 1140 extract had greater inhibitory and bactericidal activities against non-mutans streptococci than mutans streptococci. In addition, S. sobrinus were more sensitive than S.mutans to the antimicrobial activity of mutacin 1140 extract. The times required for complete eradication of more sensitive and less sensitive bacteria were 30 and 60 minutes, respectively. In conclusion, all other oral streptococci tested in this study are more susceptible than S. mutans to the inhibitory and bactericidal activities of mutacin 1140 extract. Hence, this study warrants further research into drug delivery systems targeting mutans streptococci for dental caries control.
