Description

Sangavi and five colleagues test a brown seaweed extract against the main tooth decay germ in twenty twenty-four. The germ builds sticky films that shrug off antibiotics. The extract fought the film without killing the germ itself. At top dose it cut film growth by over nine tenths.

Sub killing doses slashed sticking, acid making, and sugar glue output. Surface grip and loose DNA fell as well. Gene checks showed the film and glue genes turned down. Human cheek cells stayed unharmed in safety tests. Three fatty acids in the extract carried much of the punch, the team found.
