Spatiotemporal monitoring of a periodontal multispecies biofilm model : demonstration of prebiotic treatment responses Universiteit Gent KU Leuven
Biofilms are complex polymicrobial communities which are often associated with human infections such as the oral disease periodontitis. Studying these complex communities under controlled conditions requires in vitro biofilm model systems that mimic the natural environment as close as possible. This study established a multispecies periodontal model in the drip flow biofilm reactor in order to mimic the continuous flow of nutrients at the ...
