Streptococcus mitis
Streptococcus mitis is a bacterial strain from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) product catalog. It is a gram-positive, facultative anaerobic coccus that is a normal inhabitant of the human oral cavity. The strain is available for use in microbiological research and applications.

Streptococcus Strain Cultivation and Antibiotic Usage
E. coli strains were grown in 2×YT Broth (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). Oral streptococci strains were grown in brain heart infusion (BHI) broth (Becton Dickinson) at 37°C in 5% CO2. Antibiotics were used at the following concentrations: 300 μg/mL erythromycin and 50 μg/mL ampicillin for E. coli, 20 μg/mL erythromycin for oral streptococci, 600 μg/mL spectinomycin for S. mutans and S. anginosus, and 150 μg/mL spectinomycin for S. sanguinis.
Antimicrobial Activity of Essential Oils
Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MIC) of essential oils were determined by the broth microdilution method in 96-well microplates, following the methodology of CLSI (2006) . Samples were dissolved in 125 µL tryptic soy broth (TSB) to yield compound concentrations between 50 and 400 µg/mL. The inoculum was adjusted to 625 nm for every microorganism in a spectrophotometer to obtain cell concentration of 5 × 10 5 colony-forming units (CFU/mL) (CLSI 2006) . Chlorhexidine digluconate (Sigma-Aldrich), at concentrations from 0.115 to 59.0 µg/mL, was used as the positive control. The microplates were incubated at 37 °C for 24 h; then, 30 µL 0.02% resazurin (Sigma-Aldrich) aqueous solution was added to every well (Sarker et al., 2007) . resazurin is an oxireduction probe that enables microbial growth to be immediately observed. Blue and red colors represent the absence and the presence of microbial growth, respectively.
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.
