Conclusions

Coaggregation of oraCMU with F. nucleatum(a process by which oraCMU become attached to harmful bacteria), the periodontopathic bacteria, prevents the adhesion of harmful bacteria to gums and bacterial activities. The coaggregation rate between oraCMU and Fn, the harmful bacteria, is 77.3%.
