Dental caries, commonly known as tooth decay, poses a significant oral health challenge affecting individuals of all age groups. While dietary factors play a role, tooth decay primarily results from the activity of various oral bacteria that form biofilms in the oral cavity. In this study, we employed the phage display technique to identify high-affinity peptides capable of binding specifically to three oral bacteria strains: Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus oralis, and Lactobacillus casei. Four selected peptides underwent binding affinity testing for each target bacterium, revealing that three of them exhibited specific binding capabilities, effectively inhibiting biofilm formation. This study demonstrates the efficacy of engineered phages in identifying high-affinity peptides that selectively target oral bacteria. These peptides hold promise for preventing oral biofilm formation, a significant contributor to oral diseases and dental caries. This innovative approach opens doors to novel therapeutic strategies for addressing oral health issues. The findings may spur further research into the utilization of phages and peptides as potential anti-biofilm agents, potentially revolutionizing the field of oral health.
