Streszczenie
Wstęp. Nagromadzenie płytki nazębnej jest częstą przyczyną pierwszego etapu choroby dziąseł – zapalenia dziąseł. Bakterie płytki nazębnej stale gromadzą się na zębach i wokół nich. Jeśli płytka nazębna nie zostanie usunięta podczas regularnego szczotkowania zębów, może podrażnić dziąsła, powodując ich zaczerwienienie i stan zapalny. Zapalenie związane z chorobą dziąseł nie jest bolesne, ale jeśli nie zostanie leczone, może postępować i przekształcić się w zapalenie przyzębia, poważniejszy, nieodwracalny etap choroby dziąseł, który może ostatecznie doprowadzić do utraty zębów. Ponadto stan zapalny może powodować afty, tj. czerwone, białe lub szare owrzodzenia, które mogą być bolesne i pojawić się w dowolnym miejscu w jamie ustnej, w tym na dziąsłach, powodując ból i stan zapalny. Afty mogą występować pojedynczo lub pojawiać się jednocześnie w różnych miejscach w jamie ustnej. Chociaż nieprzyjemne, są zwykle nieszkodliwe i znikają po kilku dniach.
Cel pracy. Celem badania było sprawdzenie właściwości antybakteryjnych płynów do płukania jamy ustnej rekomendowanych przez Indent – lidera w profilaktyce stomatologicznej i dystrybutora takich firm, jak: Curasept, Tello, Frezyderm Curaprox, AloeFresh, które pomagają przyspieszyć gojenie i zapobiegają uporczywym infekcjom lub nawracającym aftom.
Materiał i metody. Do badań zostały zastosowane referencyjne szczepy bakterii E. coli (K12 ATCC 25404, R2 ATCC 39544, R3 ATCC 11775, R4 ATCC 39543), szczep Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 23235), a także Acinetobacter baumannii (ATCC 17978), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 15442), Enterobacter cloacae (ATCC 49141) zostały dostarczone przez (LGC Standards U.K.) i były używane zgodnie z zaleceniami normy ISO 11133:2014. Szczepy te użyto do przetestowania aktywności przeciwbakteryjnej analizowanych związków przy minimalnym stężeniu hamującym (MIC) i minimalnym stężeniu bakteriobójczym (MBC).
Wyniki. Badane związki wykazały profil aktywności przeciwdrobnoustrojowej podobny do uzyskanego przy użyciu obecnie stosowanych antybiotyków, takich jak: cyprofloksacyna, bleomycyna i kloksacylina, obserwowany w testach MIC i MBC. Należy również zauważyć, że koszt otrzymanych związków jest niski, co może być atrakcyjną alternatywą dla obecnie stosowanych środków przeciwdrobnoustrojowych.
Wnioski. Obserwowane wyniki są szczególnie istotne ze względu na rosnącą oporność bakterii na różne leki i antybiotyki.
Summary
Introduction. Plaque build-up is a common cause of the first stage of gum disease – gingivitis. Plaque bacteria constantly accumulate on and around teeth. If plaque is not removed by regular tooth brushing, it can irritate the gums, causing them to become red and inflamed. The inflammation associated with gum disease is not painful, but if left untreated, it can progress and develop into periodontitis, a more serious, irreversible stage of gum disease that can ultimately lead to tooth loss. In addition, inflammation may cause canker sores, i.e. red, white or gray sores, which may be painful and may appear anywhere in the mouth, including on the gums, causing pain and inflammation. Canker sores can occur singly or appear simultaneously in different places in the mouth. Although unpleasant, they are usually harmless and disappear after a few days.
Aim. The aim of the study was to check the antibacterial properties of mouthwashes recommended by Indent – a leader in dental prophylaxis and distributor of companies such as Curasept, Tello, Frezyderm Curaprox, AloeFresh, which help accelerate healing and prevent persistent infections or recurrent canker sores.
Material and methods. The reference bacterial strains of E. coli (K12 ATCC 25404, R2 ATCC 39544, R3 ATCC 11775, R4 ATCC 39543), Staphylococcus aureus strain (ATCC 23235), as well as on Acinetobacter baumannii (ATCC 17978), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 15442), Enterobacter cloacae (ATCC 49141) were provided from (LGC Standards U.K.) and were used according to the recommendation of ISO 11133:2014. These strains were used to test antibacterial activity with analyzed compounds by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC).
Results. The tested compounds, showed an antimicrobial activity profile similar to that obtained with currently used antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin, bleomycin, and cloxacillin observed in MIC and MBC tests. It should also be noted that the cost of the compounds obtained is low, what may be an attractive alternative to the currently used antimicrobial agents.
Conclusions. The observed results are especially important because of increasing resistance of bacteria to various drugs and antibiotics. All selected compounds showed super-selectivity in all analyzed bacterial strains and exhibited the highest cytotoxic activity, comparable or better than the commonly used antibiotics: ciprofloxacin, bleomycin, and cloxacillin.
Key words: mic, oxidative stress,
Introduction
The natural oral microbiome includes 1,200-1,600 bacterial strains, but only 10% of the analyzed strains have been tested for the induction of advanced periodontal diseases (1-4). Pathogenic strains form advanced clusters of the so-called biofilms that group into specific functional groups called complexes, which were well characterized by Sokransky (5). They secrete primary and secondary products of their metabolic processes, endotoxins, exotoxins and proteolytic enzymes, into the oral environment (6-9). And the saliva present in the environment directly affects the periodontal tissues, causing their destruction. This causes the formation of numerous gangrees, swellings, inflammations and canker sores, which in turn leads to spontaneous tooth loss. This condition occurs as a result of the body’s imbalance (homeostasis) between positive and negative strains in the oral cavity and the physiology of the mucous membrane and epithelium covering the entire oral cavity – leading to the formation of oxidative stress, which favors the conditions for the multiplication of pathogenic bacterial strains (10-14).
It is also related to the oxidation-reduction potential of a given niche, which creates favorable conditions for the development of pathogenic anaerobic bacteria, which in the form of biofilms use nutrients more effectively and defend themselves more effectively against the body’s protective mechanisms (14-16). An example is leukotoxin produced by the red complex bacteria A. actinomycetemcomitans, which is responsible for the destruction of neutrophils and monocytes, leading to cell lysis (increasing the permeability of their membranes). Also, endotoxins from other red complex bacteria such as P. gingivalis and A. actinomycetemcomitans cause the release of substances such as interleukin 1 beta and prostaglandin E2 by monocytes, fibroblasts and macrophages, which actively participate in bone resorption (18-24). Additional building blocks for the life and development of pathogenic microorganisms living in the oral cavity are simple amino acids, proteins, complex carbohydrates and glycoproteins contained in saliva. Fluids flowing from above and subgingival crevices are a very rich source of nutrients for bacteria. Also an endogenous generator of nutrients for bacteria of Sokransky complexes are substances released by the rotting of diseased periodontal tissues under the influence of hydrolytic enzymes, which include: proteases, collagenases, hyaluronidases, DNAases (22-33).
Many enzymes secreted by pathogenic bacteria destroy substances contained in the intercellular matrix (e.g. collagen) and the connective tissue of the macroorganism. These bacteria also secrete into the intercellular environment metabolic products containing nitrogen, such as ammonia, indole, all types of amines, produced in large quantities, and volatile sulfur compounds that destroy the permeability of the mucous membrane and are factors reducing collagen synthesis (23). The rate of colonization of pathogenic microorganisms in the oral cavity also depends on the availability of individual nutrients necessary for them and on exceeding the natural limit of non-specific immunity. Which causes them to occupy specific ecological niches and multiply rapidly in real time. This allows the penetration of other bacterial species, starting ecological succession, which leads to the creation of a large and very diverse environment of resident pathogenic microflora in the oral cavity, which begins to cause specific pathological changes. Starting from the first erupting tooth to the complete denture. In this way, a new autogenous succession is created (24-33).
The preparations used and the ingredients contained in them based on compounds of chemical origin are a type of so-called peptidomimetics, i.e. substances that have a similar structure to e.g. antibiotics commonly used in periodontal diseases, but perform different functions in the body. These compounds also induce strong oxidative stress, but not in the oral cavity but in the bacteria themselves, destroying the structure of the lipid membrane containing LPS (16-18). Ensuring the development of beneficial bacteria with probiotic properties such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, but also some yeasts, e.g. Saccharomyces cerevisiae or boulardi, which have a beneficial effect on the body. Their benefits, however, depend on the size of the doses used, the frequency and regularity of their intake. We should also remember the important role of prebiotics for the oral cavity, such as xylitol (simple sugar), which induces the growth and activity of two species of bacteria important for the health of the host organism – Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus.
The exact mechanism of colonization of the oral cavity by bacterial microflora has been extensively explained in the works of Rowińska (19-21).
Maintaining gum health in patients with or undergoing treatment for implants periodontal diseases necessarily involves the use of appropriate mechanical tools good oral hygiene. Conditions after implant rehabilitation and teeth exposed to the effects of periodontitis combine changes in the physiological anatomical structure: recessions, implant prostheses, effects of oral surgery gears, wide interdental spaces, residual pockets. These can affect both biofilm accumulation and the possibility of release bacterial colonization of newly formed dental plaque (23-33). The basic task of a hygienist and dentist is to make a well-thought-out choice the ideal combination of manual tools for a specific clinical situation every patient. Such a set involves the use of special instruments designed to deal with specific, specific clinical problems. Otherwise it is impossible to maintain proper hygiene using, for example, regular toothbrushes. Thanks to the synergy of various ingredients which act as the mentioned peptidomimetics, CURASEPT PREVENT liquid, paste or gel works in a way targeted at all strains defined according to Sokransky’s terminology to maintain an ideal oral microbiota. CURASEPT PREVENT inhibits the multiplication of the most aggressive ones microorganisms, restores balance of the cavity microflora oral and improves health gums, even in case risk factors. Curasept Prevent Probiotic is a dietary supplement that is distinguished by a unique combination probiotic bacteria:
Bifidobacterium lactis HN019: is one of the most widely used probiotics in medicine and food. Studies have demonstrated the ability to improve treatment outcomes periodontal care and facilitate health maintenance and treatment results in the long run,
Kluyveromyces marxianus fragilis B0399: has a preventive effect unpleasant breath odor, which is one of the most common symptoms in patients with gum problems.
Curasept Prevent Probiotic is also distinguished by the presence of:
– Colostrum: provides numerous protective substances for the mucous membrane and antibacterial enzymes.
– Biotin or Vitamin B8: supports proper functioning mucous membranes of the digestive tract. Thanks to its ability to adhere to teeth and oral mucosa, it creates a film protective, which hinders the adhesion and colonization of bacterial plaque and oral biofilm. Prevents also occurrence halitosis. Appropriate combinations of microorganisms, combinations with other substances, doses and the frequency/regularity of taking them can bring real benefits in a wide range of year of oral prophylaxis (fig. 1).
Fig. 1. The process of periodontal disease: a) initial period initiating colonization by bacteria, b) full colonization by bacteria, c) developed periodontal disease
Mainly, the lack of good oral hygiene leads to gingivitis and then to periodontal disease (periodontitis), the above-mentioned condition is associated with discomfort, reduced quality of life and tooth loss. Over time, it contributes to the generation of systemic diseases, e.g. cardiovascular, diabetes and respiratory diseases (fig. 2).

Aim
The aim of the study was to check the antibacterial properties of mouthwashes recommended by Indent – a leader in dental prophylaxis and distributor of companies such as Curasept, Tello, Frezyderm Curaprox, AloeFresh, which help accelerate healing and prevent persistent infections or recurrent canker sores.
Material and methods
Microorganisms and media
The reference bacterial strains of red complex were provided from (LGC Standards, Manchester, U.K.) and growth media were used as described in Kucia (22). The deposition of tartar as a result of the deposition of unremoved bacterial plaque on the teeth, maintains the inflammation manifested by bleeding gums, swelling and pain. Based on the analyzed indicators, we were able to estimate the state of oral hygiene and its level.
The reference bacterial strains of E. coli (K12 ATCC 25404, R2 ATCC 39544, R3 ATCC 11775, R4 ATCC 39543), Staphylococcus aureus strain (ATCC 23235), as well as on Acinetobacter baumannii (ATCC 17978), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 15442), Enterobacter cloacae (ATCC 49141) were provided from (LGC Standards U.K.) and were used according to the recommendation of ISO 11133: 2014. These strains were used to test antibacterial activity with analyzed compounds by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) as described in (8, 9, 24-26) and are show in supplementary materials in figure S1.
Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)
The MIC was estimated by a microtiter plate method using sterile 48 or 96-well plates (69-78). First, precursor and TIL solutions were prepared sterile deionized water at 20 mg mL-1. Fifty microliters of the solutions was placed in the first row of the plate. Next, 25 μL of sterile TSB medium was added to the other wells, and serial dilutions were performed. Then, 200 μL of inoculated TSB medium containing resazurin (0.02 mgmL-1) as an indicator was added to all the wells. TSB medium was inoculated with 10(6) colony-forming units (CFU) mL-1 (approximately 0.5 McFarland units) of the bacterial strains. The plates were incubated at 30°C for 24 h. Color changes from blue to pink or yellowish with turbidity were taken as positive, and the lowest concentration at which there was no visible color change was the MIC. The MBC was estimated based on the measurement of the dehydrogenases activity in the cultures after a 24-h incubation without the ILs. Four millilitres of a dense culture (approximately 109 CFU mL-1) that was incubated for 24 h in TSB medium at 25°C was added to identical test tubes. Next, the tested compounds were added to the test tubes until the mixture reached final concentrations of 10-250 mg mL-1. Then, the cultures containing the TILs were incubated for 1 h at 30°C. Next, 0.1 g of CaCO3 and 0.1 mL of a 3% triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) solution were added to the test tubes. Then, the test tubes were sealed with parafilm and incubated for 1 h 30°C in darkness.
Statistical analysis
The Statistica program (version 12, StatSoft, Tulsa, OK, USA) was used for the research. The examined characteristics in different groups are presented as mean values, with standard deviation. Results were analyzed with one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). When the F ratio was significant, the Tukey test was used. The level of statistical significance was analyzed at p < 0.05.

Results and discussion
Analysis of bacterial biofilms in search of periopathogens of bacterial complexes
In our study, we analyzed influence of analyzed 1-14 compounds on model bacteria strains like Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter, E. coli. observed very often in mouth using microbiological methods described earlier by Kucia et al. (22) and sequenced by Sanger methods (33). The microbiome growth of the model pathogenic model strains were observed after treatment with analyzed compounds on analyzed example dishes (fig. 3a-d).
Fig. 3a-d. Example of dishes after treatment of analyzed first 4 of all analyzed 14 compounds: Acinetobater baumannii (A), Pseudomonas aureginosa (B), Stapahylococcus areus (C), Enterobacter (D)
Grown fungal colonies (including yeasts) indicate a serious oral cavity infection and insufficient hygiene, therefore only grown bacterial colonies were used for sequencing, in line with the assumptions of the study.
Sequence analysis of bacterial biofilms grown on plates showed mainly red complex bacteria (tab. 1). The obtained results show that the influence of the specific diet and using specific compounds 1-14 diet can stimulate the development of beneficial microorganisms, including, for example, L. salivarius, and it can have a bactericidal effect on pathogenic bacteria.

The results obtained from sequencing using the Sanger method (33) with the right sets of primers for the identification of bacterial biofilms from the gingiva surfaces. The values presented in table 1 show identifications at the level of 99.99-100% of the analyzed species or strains of pathogenic bacteria of the consecutive six complexes (tab. 1). We could observe the presence of bacteria from each of the 6 bacterial complexes of which the largest share is the bacteria found in complexes: orange > red > yellow > green ≥ violet > blue where the reaction equilibrium was shifted towards a specific pH. Bacteria from the six groups were now being recruited. A specific diet regulates the pH of our oral mucosa and changes the niche of bacterial biofilms towards beneficial bacteria and not the pathogenic bacteria that induce tooth decay (fig. 4).

Model strains of E. coli were plotted in all 48-well plates observed; K12, R2-R4 which were treated with the analyzed compounds. From analysis of the MIC assays, color changes were observed for all compounds tested, but at different levels and at different dilutions. Bacterial strains R3 and R4 were the most susceptible to modification with these compounds due to the increasing length of their LPS (visible dilutions of 10-3 corresponding to a concentration of 0.25 μM) than strains K12 and R2 (visible dilutions of 10(-6) corresponding to a concentration of 0.06 μM). The analyzed R4 strain was the most sensitive of all strains, probably due to the longest length of the lipopolysaccharide chain in the bacterial membrane. The same effect was observed by clinical model strains (tab. 2).

The analysis of clinical bacterial strains modified with tested compounds 1-14
The obtained MIC values, as well as our previous studies with various types of the analyzed compounds indicate the analyzed 1-14 compounds with specific components show a strong toxic effect on the analyzed bacterial model strains. Performed studies proved that the analyzed and newly used 1-14 compounds can potentially be used as „substitutes” for the currently used antibiotics in hospital and clinical infections by analyzed clinical strains such as: Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter, Staphylococcus aureus (fig. 5-9).

The synthesis of new compounds from 1-14 Curasept family, similarly to other compounds studied by us in previous works, may constitute a new alternative to the commonly used antibiotics in clinical infections. Therefore, the analyzes of new compounds from this group are extremely important in nosocomial or clinical infections. The analyzed compounds were tested for their toxic effect on cells of Escherichia coli K12 strains (having native LPS) and R2-R4 (with different LPS lengths). On the basis of the observed results in the MIC and MBC tests, it was found that the analyzed compounds significantly influenced the defragmentation of the membrane and the structure of the cell wall of bacteria containing LPS of various lengths, causing oxidative stress caused by (modification) of the analyzed compounds to damage and modification of bacterial DNA. The presented research shows that 1-14 will be used in the future as typical „substitutes” for new drugs in relation to the antibiotics used in hospital infections. This chemical and biological activity is related to specific substituents in their structure (tab. 1). The obtained MIC values, as well as our previous studies with various types of the analyzed compoundsindicate that also 1-14 compounds show a strong cytotoxic effect of the analyzed model bacterial strains K12 and R2-R4 and model clinical strains , due to the type and kind of group at para-position.
Probably the length of the alkyl chain and the type of the specific substituent may determine the toxicity of the analyzed E. coli strains, including in particular R4, as evidenced by the obtained MIC values. Modifications with antibiotics were smaller and not as clear as in the case of the analyzed compounds (see Supplementary materials fig. S1). The destabilization of the inside bacterial complex that regulates these enzymes is possibly crucial for the survival of bacterial cells and may play an important role in changing its electrokinetic potential expressing the reversal of burdens. Blocking these enzymes by 1-14 compounds of Curasept family, stops DNA replication causing bacterial cells to apoptosis and be destroyed. In the future, cytotoxicity studies will also be carried out using various cell lines and cultures to assess the biocompatibility of test compounds with active 1-14 compounds. Dysfunction of bacterial membranes containing different lengths of LPS in model bacterial strains is an ideal model to assess the effectiveness of these compounds in relation to the antibiotics used.

The obtained results were a good and very simple and cheap training test which allowed us to estimate to what extent the types of specific diets have an influence on the formation of specific bacterial biofilms on the induction of inflammatory conditions of periodontal disease with specific bacterial biofilms. Based on specific periodontological indicators, the dental community, including doctors, dentists, and hygienists, will be able to estimate with 100 percent certainty when and at what time, based on the data obtained from the indicators, a bacterial biofilm will be formed and what antibiotic therapy should be applied. The methods described in the manuscript significantly shorten the time of detection of disease entities induced by persistent bacterial biofilms belonging to different classes. They also allow the assessment of the actual inflammation of the periodontal tissues. By specifying the type of identifier, the doctor can directly estimate what type of bacteria he is dealing with and what treatment should be administered. The obtained results suggest that the substances contained in the analysed components may also interact with red complexes of bacteria showing cariogenic activity present in the human oral cavity (11, 12). Currently, antibiotic resistance among pathogenic bacteria is becoming more and more common, leading to super-resistance. The recommendations issued by the American Dental Association indicate that systemic antibacterial drugs should be used with rational dosing to avoid side effects affecting the body (17, 23). In addition to vaccines based on COVID-19, the search for new methods enabling faster detection of bacterial biofilms and correlation with the function of a specific diet will allow appropriately targeted clinical and diagnostic tests to be conducted. Our research has shown that the effects of 14 different compounds depending on the sensitivity of the host (11, 12) (tab. 1). In fact, the levels of the analyzed pathogens obtained by Sanger sequencing (33) of bacteria (tab. 1). The inhibition of growth by bacteria of the fifth complex in oral colonization is critical because these bacteria may indirectly influence neoplastic diseases related to pancreatic cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, the use of a safe traditional diet gives a better effect than any type of food additives or spoilers for determining the effect of pathogenic microorganisms in the diet function and periodontal inflammation. Hygiene determines the health of the oral cavity, and deviations from the accepted norms are a harbinger of upcoming health problems, or the determination of already existing pathological conditions. The obtained results were a good and very simple and cheap training test which allowed us to estimate to what extent the types of specific diets have an influence on the formation of specific bacterial biofilms on the induction of inflammatory conditions of periodontal disease with specific bacterial biofilms. Based on specific periodontological indicators, the dental community, including doctors, dentists, and hygienists, will be able to estimate with 100 percent certainty when and at what time, based on the data obtained from the indicators, a bacterial biofilm will be formed and what antibiotic therapy should be applied. The methods described in the manuscript significantly shorten the time of detection of disease entities induced by persistent bacterial biofilms belonging to different classes. They also allow the assessment of the actual inflammation of the periodontal tissues. By specifying the type of identifier, the doctor can directly estimate what type of bacteria he is dealing with and what treatment should be administered. The applied diet does not exclude the use of its various supplements, which can potentially contribute to a significant improvement in the soft tissues of the periodontium, as described in our previous work (23-32). However, a analysed 1-14 compounds rich in macro and microelements and specially usefull surfactants without a significant contribution of carbohydrates and fats significantly contributes to the quality and improvement of vitality and health condition of the periodontium as well as of the teeth themselves, protecting them against early and rapid loss. Based on the obtained results we can state that a specific diet determines the selection of a specific microbiota of the organism in our mouth and the advantage of beneficial bacteria over pathogens from the 6 analyzed complexes. The obtained results suggest that the substances contained in the 1-14 analyzed compounds, may also interact with red complexes of bacteria showing cariogenic activity present in the human oral cavity (11, 12). Chronic inflammation in the oral cavity may lead to the destruction of the alveolar bone, which may consequently lead to tooth loss. This process may involve direct damage to tissues by the secreted toxins of pathogenic bacteria. Recent literature data indicate the effect of bacterial biofilm on various organs and systems of a person, including the nervous system, contributing to the formation of neurodegenerative diseases (19). Currently, antibiotic resistance among pathogenic bacteria is becoming more and more common, leading to super-resistance. The recommendations issued by the American Dental Association indicate that systemic antibacterial drugs should be used with rational dosing to avoid side effects affecting the body (17, 23). In addition to vaccines based on COVID-19, the search for new methods enabling faster detection of bacterial biofilms and correlation with the function of a specific diet will allow appropriately targeted clinical and diagnostic tests to be conducted. The analyzed pastes, gels and rinses are extremely effective and have a very high antimicrobial potential.
Conclusions
The newly analysed compounds were tested as potential antimicrobial agents and the impact of their structure on the antimicrobial activity against model strains of selected clinical strains described by Socransky’s. All selected compounds showed super-selectivity in all analyzed bacterial strains and exhibited the highest cytotoxic activity, comparable or better than the commonly used antibiotics: ciprofloxacin, bleomycin, and cloxacillin.
