Objective To investigate the effect of different concentrations of sucrose on the bacteria composition and pH of in vitro biofilm derived from dental plaque.Methods Dental plaques from five caries-active people( DMFS > 3 ) were mixed and cultivated in vitro under different sucrose concentrations (0,1.5,3.0,5.0,20.0 g/L) to form biofilm,from which DNAs of bacteria were extracted and further analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE).The pH was measured and bacteria counted in the biofilm.Results As the sucrose concentration increased,the number of bacteria species decreased.Higher sucrose concentration leaded to a lower minimum pH,which was 5.4 (0 g/L),4.7( 1.5 g/L),4.5(3.0 g/L),4.2(5.0 g/L),4.2(20.0 g/L),respectively.With sucrose in culture medium,the time needed for a minimum pH in the last 12 hours was much shorter( about 6 hours) than the time needed in the first 12 hours( 10 hours).The largest number of bacteria was observed at the sucrose concentration of 5.0 g/L.Conclusions The sucrose concentration may influnce the bacteria composition of biofilm derived from dental plaque and pH.Potential acidogenic and acid-tolerant bacterial community could be screened out in the culture medium with sucrose.%目的 研究不同蔗糖质量浓度对体外牙菌斑生物膜细菌组成和pH值的影响,探讨口腔微生物在蔗糖存在下的致龋能力.方法 采集有龋者(龋失补牙面数>3)集合牙菌斑样本5例,混合后在不同质量浓度(0、1.5、3.0、5.0及20.0g/L)蔗糖中体外培养生物膜;对生物膜进行聚合酶链反应-变性梯度凝胶电泳分析和细菌量计数,并行pH值监测.结果 随着培养基中蔗糖质量浓度增加,生物膜细菌种类减少;随着蔗糖质量浓度的升高(0、1.5、3.0、5.0、20.0g/L),生物膜培养36 h后所能达到的最低pH值呈降低趋势,分别为5.4、4.7、4.5、4.2及4.2;在有蔗糖时,最终12 h生物膜培养达到pH最小值约需6h,相比最初12h(约需10 h)明显缩短;对生物膜细菌量进行单因素方差分析结果显示,在蔗糖质量浓度为5.0g/L时细菌量最大,向下蔗糖质量浓度依次为3.0、20.0、1.5及0g/L,各组间相比差异有统计学意义(P<0.05).结论 蔗糖浓度可影响体外牙菌斑生物膜的细菌组成和pH值,含蔗糖的培养基可筛选出具有潜在强产酸和耐酸能力的菌群.
