Susceptibility of Streptococcus mutans and Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans to Bactericidal Activity of Human β-Defensin 3 in Biological Fluids

Bactericidal activity of human β-defensin 3 (hBD-3) against Streptococcus mutans and Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by the presence of saliva and/or serum. Increasing the concentration of hBD-3 partially overcame this inhibition. A fast bactericidal eff...
