摘要

Periodontal disease is associated with changes in the composition of the oral microflora, where health-associated oral streptococci decrease while Gram-negative anaerobes predominate in disease. A key feature of periodontal disease-associated anaerobes is their ability to produce hydrogen sulfide (H_(2)S) abundantly as a by-product of anaerobic metabolism. So far, H_(2)S has been reported to be either cytoprotective or cytotoxic by modulating bacterial antioxidant defense systems. Although oral anaerobes produce large amounts of H_(2)S, the potential effects of H_(2)S on oral streptococci are currently unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of H_(2)S on the survival and biofilm formation of oral streptococci. The growth and biofilm formation of Streptococcus mitis and Streptococcus oralis were inhibited by H_(2)S. However, H_(2)S did not significantly affect the growth of Streptococcus gordonii or Streptococcus sanguinis . The differential susceptibility of oral streptococci to H_(2)S was attributed to differences in the intracellular concentrations of reduced glutathione (GSH). In the absence of GSH, H_(2)S elicited its toxicity through an iron-dependent mechanism. Collectively, our results showed that H_(2)S exerts antimicrobial effects on certain oral streptococci, potentially contributing to the decrease in health-associated plaque microflora.
