Figure Lengend Snippet: A. E. faecalis OG1RF CFU/mL in 1:10 co-culture with indicated S. mutans UA159 strain in BHI at 0, 2, 4, 6, and 24 h. For each culture, n = 2 technical replicates for each of n = 4-7 biological replicates. B. E. faecalis OG1RF CFU/mL in 1:10 co-culture with indicated S. mutans UA159 strain in BHI + 1% sucrose at 0, 2, 4, 6, and 24 h. For each culture, n = 2 technical replicates for each of n = 3 biological replicates. C. CFU/mL of indicated strain in monoculture in BHI at 0, 2, 4, 6, and 24 h. For each culture, n = 2 technical replicates for each of n = 2-3 biological replicates. D. CFU/mL of indicated strain in 1:10 co-culture with S. mutans UA159 erm R in BHI at 0, 2, 4, 6, and 24 h. For each culture, n = 2 technical replicates for each of n = 3 biological replicates. E. CFU/mL of indicated strain in 1:10 co-culture with S. mutans UA159 Δ mubD in BHI at 0, 2, 4, 6, and 24 h. F. CFU/mL of indicated strain in 1:10 co-culture with S. mutans UA159 Δ mubR in BHI at 0, 2, 4, 6, and 24 h. For each culture, n = 2 technical replicates for each of n = 3 biological replicates. For A, B, and D, two-way ANOVA was used for statistical analysis (*, p < 0.05; **, p = 0.002; ***, p ≤ 0.0008; ****, p < 0.0001).
Article Snippet: While co-culture with UA159 reduced OG1RF CFU/mL starting at 4 h and by a maximum of 3.4 logs at 6 h compared to the highest CFU/mL at 2 h, co-culture with ATCC 25175 only reduced OG1RF CFU/mL by 1.6 logs at 6 h compared to 2 h and OG1RF viability recovered at 24 h ( ).
