Arginine inhibits cross-kingdom interactions and synergistic cariogenicity between Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans
L-Arginine inhibited both mono- and dual-species growth of <i>S. mutans</i> and <i>C. albicans</i>. Thus, L-arginine may serve as a novel approach to inhibit the cross-kingdom interactions and synergistic cariogenicity of <i>S. mutans</i> and <i>C. albicans</i>.
