Oral Veillonella, Veillonella atypica, Veillonella denticariosi, Veillonella dispar, Veillonella parvula, Veillonella rogosae, and Veillonella tobetsuensis are known as early colonizers in oral biofilm formation. To investigate the role of oral Veillonella, biofilms formed by the co-culture of Streptococcus gordonii, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus salivarius, or Streptococcus sanguinis, with oral Veillonella were examined at the species level. The amount of biofilm formed by S. mutans, S. gordonii, and S. salivarius in the presence of the six Veillonella species was greater than that formed in the control experiments, with the exception of S. mutans with V. dispar. In contrast, in the case of biofilm formation by S. sanguinis, the presence of Veillonella species reduced the amount of the biofilm, with the exception of V. parvula and V. dispar. The time-dependent changes in the amount of biofilm and the number of planktonic cells were grouped into four patterns over the 24 combinations. Only that of S. gordonii with V. tobetsuensis showed a unique pattern. These results indicate that the mode of action of this combination differed from that of the other combinations with respect to biofilm formation. It is possible that there may be several factors involved in the interaction between Streptococcus and Veillonella species.
口腔韦荣氏菌、罕见韦荣氏菌、龋齿韦荣氏菌、差异韦荣氏菌、小韦荣氏菌、罗托氏韦荣氏菌和特氏韦荣氏菌被认为是口腔生物膜形成的早期定植菌。为了研究口腔韦荣氏菌的作用,我们在物种水平上研究了口腔韦荣氏菌与链球菌、变异链球菌、唾液链球菌或血链球菌共培养形成的生物膜。在六种韦荣氏菌存在的情况下,变异链球菌、戈登链球菌和唾液链球菌形成的生物膜量大于对照实验,除了与差异韦荣氏菌共培养的变异链球菌。相比之下,在血链球菌形成生物膜的情况下,除了小韦荣氏菌和差异韦荣氏菌外,韦荣氏菌的存在减少了生物膜的量。在 24 种组合中,生物膜量和浮游细胞数量的时间依赖性变化分为四种模式。只有戈登链球菌与特氏韦荣氏菌的组合表现出独特的模式。这些结果表明,这种组合的作用方式与其他组合在生物膜形成方面有所不同。在链球菌和韦荣氏菌之间的相互作用中,可能涉及几个因素。
