FIGURE 6.
Representative hypothesis of LBO differential activity with different Streptococcus spp. This figure represents the hypothesis on LBO function against a Streptococcal population. The final result could be due to different factors: (i) UFA antimicrobial resistance and (ii) esterase hydratase profile/activity in each strain. The initial concentration of phenols, FFA and esters in native LBO could change the susceptibility pattern between Streptococci Groups II and III.
