FILLING THE VOID: AN OPTIMIZED POLYMICROBIAL INTERKINGDOM BIOFILM MODEL FOR ASSESSING NOVEL ANTIMICROBIAL AGENTS IN ENDODONTIC INFECTION

Filling the Void: An Optimized Polymicrobial Interkingdom Biofilm Model for Assessing Novel Antimicrobial Agents in Endodontic Infection

There is a growing realization that endodontic infections are often polymicrobial, and may contain Candida spp.Despite this understanding, the development of new endodontic irrigants and models of pathogenesis remains limited to mono-species biofilm models and is bacterially focused.The purpose of this study was to develop and optimize an interking
