Fluoride and sulfide are known inhibitors of heme catalases in acid environments.Staphylococcus aureusH cells were found to be sensitized by fluoride or sulfide to H2O2killing at acid pH values in the range of 3.5 to 4.0, and catalase activity was reduced concomitantly. In contrast, fluoride had little effect on H2O2killing ofStreptococcus mutansGS‐5, which has fluoride‐insensitive peroxidase activity, but still is more sensitive to H2O2than isS. aureusin the absence of fluoride. Fluoride but not sulfide was inhibitory also for the Mn‐containing, non‐heme pseudocatalase ofLactobacillus plantarumATCC 14431 over a wide pH range, and this inhibitory effect was reflected in enhanced H2O2killing in the presence of fluoride. In addition, we found that catalase‐positiveS. aureusorNeisseria siccacould protect catalase‐negativeS. mutansagainst killing by H2O2in mixed suspensions, but protection was compromised by fluoride or sulfide under acid conditions. Thus, catalase‐positive organisms could protect a catalase‐negative organism against peroxide damage, but inhibition of catalase reduced protection. These findings are pertinent to the widespread use of fluoride and peroxide in oral health care products.
