Inhibitory effect of bovine milk osteopontin on the initial attachment of Streptococcus mutans

We investigated the effect of bovine milk osteopontin (OPN) on the initial adhesion of Streptococcus mutans to hydroxyapatite. Hydroxyapatite pellets were immersed in a 5.4 µM OPN solution at 37°C for 30 min. As a control, Milli-Q water was used. Streptococcus mutans were incubated at 37°C for 2 h o...
