We evaluated a novel antibacterial agents against Staphylococcus aureus to inhibit oral colonization. We isolated Streptococcus sanguinis and Streptococcus parasanguinis which have antibacterial actuvuty against S. aureus. These bacteria produce hydrogen peroxide as antibacterial agent. Furthermore, two-component systems of S.aureus are revealed that related to the resistant system against hydrogen peroxide of S. sanguinis and bacteriocins produced by L. lactis and S. warneri. We consider that TCSs can be applied as a fixing inhibitors preventing oral colonization of S. aureus.
