Effect of sub-MICs of triclosan on mRNA expression of specific genes involved in adherence and biofilm formation in <i>S. mutans</i> ATCC 25175.

<p>Data are expressed as means ± standard deviations. The expression was normalized to 16S rRNA. Significant increase (*, <i>p</i><0.05; **, <i>p</i><0.01; ***, <i>p</i><0.001) compared to untreated control bacteria.
