Zusammenfassung:Methods of reducing total pathogenic oral bacteria load within an individual's oral cavity are disclosed. Methods of selectively promoting growth of beneficial oral bacteria relative to growth of pathogenic oral bacteria in a population of bacteria that comprises beneficial oral bacteria and pathogenic oral bacteria, such as in an individual's oral cavity, are disclosed. Methods of selectively promoting growth of beneficial oral bacteria relative to growth of pathogenic oral bacteria in biofilm that comprises beneficial oral bacteria and pathogenic oral bacteria, including biofilm in an individual's oral cavity, are also disclosed, Methods of identifying a compound or composition that enhances the selective promotion of growth of beneficial oral bacteria relative to growth of pathogenic oral bacteria by arginine and methods of identifying a compound or composition that enhances the selective promotion of growth of beneficial oral bacteria relative to growth of pathogenic oral bacteria in biofilm by arginine are disclosed.
