ObjectivesOral candidiasis is one of the most common human fungal infections. While most cases of the Candida species isolated from the oral cavity are Candida albicans, a large number of candidiasis is attributed to non-albicans Candida species. In this study, we aim to evaluate the in vitro inhibition of supernatants of Lactobacillus gasseri and Lactobacillus rhamnosus on the single and mixed species biofilm of non-albicans Candida species, including Candida tropicalis, Candida krusei and Candida parapsilosis.DesignCell-free supernatants of Lactobacillus gasseri and Lactobacillus rhamnosus were prepared. Single and mixed non-albicans Candida species biofilm were formed in the 96-well microplate and on the surfaces of medical grade silicone. Biomass and cell viability were tested with crystal violet and cell counting kit-8. In order to examine the ability of the supernatant to disrupt pre-formed biofilm, supernatant was added to 24h-old biofilms. Biofilm architecture on silicone was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy was used to examine live/dead organisms within biofilm.ResultsSingle and mixed species biofilms and cell viability of non-albicans Candida biofilms were inhibited by probiotic lactobacilli supernatants. Matrue biofilm formation was disrupted by lactobacilli supernatants added at 24h after biofilm initiation. Examination with confocal laser scanning microscopy and scanning electron microscopy confirmed that lactobacilli supernatants inhibited the mixed biofilms and damaged the cells.ConclusionsOur data elucidate the inhibitory activity of probiotic lactobacilli on non-albicans Candida biofilm, so as to support their utility as an adjunctive therapeutic mode against oral candida infections.
