Reference strains from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) were used such as C. albicans (ATCC 18804), E. faecalis (ATCC 4083), P. aeruginosa (ATCC 15442), S. aureus (ATCC 6538), S. mutans (ATCC 35688), F. nucleatum (ATCC 25586), P. endodontalis (ATCC 35406), P. gingivalis (ATCC 33277), and P. micra (ATCC 23195). The microorganisms were frozen at -80 °C, and activated in a specific culture medium according to the metabolic needs, being Yeast Nitrogen Base broth (YNB -Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, USA), for C. albicans, and Brain Heart Infusion broth (BHI -Himedia), for aerobic bacteria. They were incubated at 37 °C for 24 h, with 5% CO2 for S. mutans. For anaerobic bacteria, Brucella broth (Acumedia, Michigan, USA) supplemented with 5% sterile defibrinated sheep blood (Newprov, Pinhais-PR, Brazil), 1% hemin (Sigma-Aldrich), and 1% menadione (Sigma-Aldrich) was used. These bacteria were incubated in anaerobiosis with nitrogen 80.01%, carbon dioxide 10.02%, and hydrogen 9.97%; (Whitley DG250 Workstation, West Yorkshire, UK) at 37 ºC for 48 h.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
