Objective: Gram-positive cariogenic bacteria are etiological agents in dental caries; therefore, strategies to inhibit these bacteria to reduce the incident of this disease have intensified. In this study, we investigated antibacterial activities of titanates and gold-titanates against Lactobacillus casei (Lc) and Streptococcus mutans (Sm). Materials and methods: Monosodium titanate (MST), nanomonosodium titanate (nMST) and amorphous peroxo-titanate (APT), which are inorganic compounds with high-binding affinity for specific metal ions, were used. Total bacterial proteins were measured to represent bacterial cell mass after 24 h incubation with gold-titanates. We further examined the effect of nMST-Au(III) concentrations (10,200,400 mg/L) on Lc and Sm cell viability over time via Live/Dead fluorescent staining and colony forming units (CFUs). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to determine specific locations on the bacterial cells affected by the nMST-Au(III). Results: We found all gold-titanates and APT alone reduced bacterial protein for Lc (p value
