The growth in Brain Heart Infusion medium containing glucose or sucrose of Streptococcus mutans strain OMZ 176, two strains of Strep. sanguis (ATCC 10556 and No. 39) and Actinomyces viscosus type ATCC 27044 was inhibited by xylitol but not by D-arabitol or ribitol. When fructose was substituted for glucose, xylitol had no growth-inhibiting effect. It was also shown that the bacteria produced less acid in the presence of xylitol, as measured by the pH of the cultures or by neutralization with alkali.
在含有葡萄糖或蔗糖的脑心浸液培养基中，变形链球菌OMZ 176菌株、两株血链球菌（ATCC 10556和39号菌株）以及黏性放线菌ATCC 27044型的生长受到木糖醇的抑制，但不受D-阿拉伯糖醇或核糖醇的抑制。当用果糖替代葡萄糖时，木糖醇没有生长抑制作用。通过培养物的pH值或用碱中和来测量，结果还表明在木糖醇存在的情况下，细菌产生的酸较少。
