MICs, MBCs, MBICs, and MBRCs of NAP and CHX against S. mutans, S. gordonii, and S. sanguinis strains.
| Bacterial strain (μg/mL) | Planktonic cells | Biofilm | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MIC | MBC | MBIC | MBRC | |||||
| NAP | CHX | NAP | CHX | NAP | CHX | NAP | CHX | |
| S. mutans | 3.91 | 1.95 | 15.63 | 7.81 | 1.95 | 0.98 | 62.50 | 62.50 |
| S. gordonii | 0.49 | 3.91 | 0.98 | 7.81 | 0.49 | 3.91 | 15.63 | 15.63 |
| S. sanguinis | 0.49 | 0.49 | 15.63 | 3.91 | 1.95 | 1.95 | 3.91 | 3.91 |
MIC: minimum inhibitory concentration; MBC: minimum bactericidal concentration; MBIC: minimum biofilm inhibition concentrations; MBRC: minimum biofilm reduction concentrations.
