Antimicrobial activity of hydroxyl radicals generated by hydrogen peroxide photolysis against Streptococcus mutans biofilm

Highlights • Streptococcus mutans biofilm became up to 200 µm thick after 24 h of incubation. • S. mutans biofilm grown for over 6 h acquired antibiotic resistance. • Hydroxyl radicals generated by H2 O2 photolysis could kill bacteria in biofilm. • H2 O2 photolysis was effective both against biofilm...

Summary:Highlights • Streptococcus mutans biofilm became up to 200 µm thick after 24 h of incubation. • S. mutans biofilm grown for over 6 h acquired antibiotic resistance. • Hydroxyl radicals generated by H2 O2 photolysis could kill bacteria in biofilm. • H2 O2 photolysis was effective both against biofilm and planktonic bacteria.
