Research on Changes to Oral Bacterial Growth in Human Saliva Published in ASM’s mSphere
Our latest manuscript, Human saliva modifies growth, biofilm architecture, and competitive behaviors of oral streptococci, was published on February 6th, 2024 in the American Society for Microbiology’s journal mSphere. This publication details how inclusion of human saliva into growth media used for cultivating oral bacteria in the lab increases their growth rate and also impacts their interspecies competition against each other. The project was led by co-first authors Allen Choi, Kevin Dong and Emily Williams.
