Dental caries is a prevalent disease, particularly among the pediatric population, and Streptococcus mutans is a key bacterium involved in its development. This study explores natural alternatives to prevent the colonization of S. mutans in the oral cavity using Lactobacillus spp. strains. The objective was to evaluate the antimicrobial capacity of supernatants obtained from Lactobacillus spp. isolated from vaginal exudate against S. mutans, a bacterium associated with dental caries. Lactobacillus spp. strains were isolated from vaginal exudate, and S. mutans was successfully isolated from three saliva samples collected from children aged 6 to 10 years without dental caries, using Man, Rogosa, and Sharpe (MRS) agar and Mitis Salivarius agar, respectively. Bacterial identification was confirmed by Gram staining and biochemical tests, including catalase, oxidase, and carbohydrate fermentat...
