Biofilm susceptibility assays. Standardized overnight cultures of S. mutans strains grown on MBEC pegs and incubated overnight at 37 °C to form mature biofilms. The pegs were immersed in wells containing 0.2 mg/mL EGCG in the presence or absence of 80 μg/mL LL-37 for 3 and 5 h to allow the biofilm to disperse from the pegs to the wells below, and the absorbance was measured. Data are presented as the mean ± SD from three independent experiments. *, significant difference compared with untreated control (p < 0.05)
