“…Interestingly, some probiotic bacteria, such as lactobacilli, are used in the production of chewing-gums, in order to exert beneficial effects on oral malodour assessed by organoleptic scores (Keller et al 2012). Several studies have highlighted the beneficial effects of probiotics on human health, underlying how probiotic strains are involved in intestinal permeability (Mach 2006), urogenital infections (Reid 2008) and allergies (Vanderhoof 2008).…”

Probiotic characteristics and in vitro compatibility of a combination of Bifidobacterium breve M-16 V, Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis M-63 and Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum BB536 Abstract The consumption of probiotic-based products has risen greatly in recent decades. Due to their probiotic characteristics, microorganisms such as lactobacilli and bifidobacteria are in daily use in the production of food supplements. In the present study, three bifidobacterial strains (Bifidobacterium breve M-16 V, Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis M-63 and Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum BB536) were tested for growth compatibility, resistance to antimicrobial agents, antibacterial activity against pathogens, resistance to gastric acidity, bile salt hydrolysis and adhesion to the human intestinal epithelial cell line HT29. All of these strains were resistant to gentamycin, but none showed in vitro growth incompatibility or the presence of known resistance determinants. B. breve M-16 V had the best probiotic characteristics and, indeed, was the only strain possessing antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. All strains were resistant to simulated gastric juice, while only B. longum subsp. longum BB536 and B. breve M-16 V showed a bile salt hydrolytic activity. Interestingly, a strong adhesion to HT29 cells was observed in all Bifidobacterium strains. In conclusion, B. breve M-16 V, B. longum subsp. longum BB536 and B. longum subsp. infantis M-63 showed several promising characteristics as probiotic strains.

“…In a randomised doubleblind, placebo-controlled cross-over trail with 25 adults a probiotic chewing gum with L. reuteri DSM 17938 and L. reuteri ATCC PTA 5289 or placebo was used. After a treatment duration of 14 days the organoleptic scores were significantly lower in the group with probiotic chewing gum [78].…”

Probiotics are defined as live microorganisms that beneficially affect the host. Probiotic bacteria have been used therapeutically for years to target gastrointestinal disease by rebalancing the complex microflora. Besides the gastrointestinal tract also the oral cavity is highly colonized by bacteria and many different bacterial species are part of the microbiota in the mouth, as it offers ideal conditions for bacteria with a stable temperature, moist surface with a relatively stable pH and regular supply of nutrients. By disturbing the balance of microorganisms in the oral cavity or by extensive accumulation of plaque, the ratio of pathogenic organisms can increase and lead to oral health problems. Probiotic bacteria, like lactobacilli, are a promising treatment strategy for oral diseases with a microbiological aetiology. Those include plaqueassociated diseases like dental caries, which is an infectious disease with microbial processes eroding and destroying the hard dental tissue or inflammation of periodontal tissue, namely gingivitis and the more severe periodontitis. Moreover, endodontic infections, and even fungal, viral and acute bacterial infections could be treated by a probiotic therapy. The interest of probiotics in the field of oral health is growing, although it is still in its infancy. The present review adresses criteria for the selection of probiotic lactobacilli strains. It encompasses existing evidence on the use of lactobacilli for caries, halitosis and candidiasis, as well as for periodontal disease like Gingivitis and periodontitis.

Effect of chewing gums containing the probiotic bacteriumLactobacillus reuterion oral malodour

Abstract: The results demonstrated that probiotic chewing gums may have some beneficial effect on oral malodour assessed by organoleptic scores. The results indicate that the probiotic gum may affect bacteria that produce malodourous compounds other than VSCs.
