Number of S. sanguinis cells in S. sanguinis monocultures and in cultures of S. sanguinis mixed with A. oris MG1 or MG1 ΔfimA. The number of S. sanguinis colonies on mitis-salivarius agar plates was counted in a monoculture of S. sanguinis and in a culture of S. sanguinis mixed with A. oris MG1 or MG1 ΔfimA strains. The data represent the mean ± standard deviation (SD) of triplicate experiments. The experiments were performed three times, with similar results obtained in each replicate. The asterisks indicate a significant difference between the two groups (Student’s t-test, p-value < 0.05, * no SCFA vs. SCFA, ** MG1 vs. MG1.ΔfimA)
