Estimation of bacterial hydrogen sulfide production in vitro

摘要

Oral bacterial hydrogen sulfide (H_(2)S) production was estimated comparing two different colorimetric methods in microtiter plate format. High H_(2)S production was seen for Fusobacterium spp., Treponema denticola , and Prevotella tannerae , associated with periodontal disease. The production differed between the methods indicating that H_(2)S production may follow different pathways.
