Probiotic safety signals for S. salivarius OSTIA SALI-10
Oral microbiome probiotic Streptococcus salivarius OSTIA SALI-10 underwent a comprehensive safety evaluation spanning genomic, in vitro, and in vivo modalities, reporting no concerning signals across standard panels relevant to dental and periodontal contexts. The findings align with strain-level qualification consistent with QPS or GRAS-like expectations and emphasize antimicrobial resistance vigilance. These results support cautious clinical translation and targeted research in oral health, including periodontal disease and halitosis endpoints.
