Objective: Therefore, we aimed in this study to evaluate the effect of Veillonella infantium on the biofilm formation of oral Streptococcus species.Methods: Dual-species biofilm was formed between V. infantium and oral Streptococcus using the wire method, and it was then incubated at 37°C underanaerobic condition for 5 days. Biofilm formation was determined by measuring the DNA concentration. Single species biofilm of oral Streptococcuswas generated under the same conditions and was used as a control group.Result: The presence of V. infantium decreased the biofilm formation of Streptococcus mutans, where, in contrast, the formation of biofilm inStreptococcus sanguinis was increased by the presence of V. infantium (p<0.05).Conclusion: The presence of V. infantium decreased the biofilm formation of S. mutans.
