From: Growth in the presence of sucrose may decrease attachment of some oral bacteria to abiotic surfaces
The effects of sucrose on the colonization of abiotic surfaces by oral bacteria. Attachment (the upper row) and biofilm formation (the lower row) by five bacterial strains of oral origin on (a, d) glass, (b, e) stainless steel, and (c, f) hydroxyapatite. All results are presented as mean ± SD where n = 3. Values labeled with the * symbol are significantly different from the control (p < 0.05)
