Antibacterial effect of salivary peroxidases on a cariogenic strain of Streptococcus mutans

J. Tenovuo and M. L. Knuuttila

The antibacterial effect of purified human salivary lactoperoxidase on a cariogenic strain of Streptococcus mutans was demonstrated while another oral peroxidase, probably of leukocytic origin, did not affect the growth. Lactoperoxidase was rapidly adsorbed by bacterial cells indicating the necessity of the contact between the enzyme and the cells before inhibition.
