Popis: A rapid quantitative in vitro assay measured the effects of antiplaque agents and antiserum on growth and sucrose-mediated adherence of radiolabeled S. mutans 6715. Acid production was measured by change in pH. In this assay the primary effect of chlorhexidine and fluoride was bacteriostasis and inhibition of acid production, respectively; the primary effect of dextran, dextranase, and specific antiserum was inhibition of sucrose-mediated adherence.
