Detailed Description
This is a randomized controlled open pilot study to evaluate saliva samples collected from participants following their consumption of powders containing the commercially marketed probiotic bacterium S. salivarius K12 or S. salivarius M18.
Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the 4 groups consuming probiotic powder containing Streptococcus salivarius K12 or S. salivarius M18 with or without prebiotics (e.g. sugars that may promote probiotic activity). Saliva samples will be collected at predetermined time points pre and post intervention. Antibacterial and Antiviral activity will be determined following established assays. Colonisation efficacy will be determined by enumerating the probiotic in the saliva samples using standard microbiological techniques.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Active Comparator: Streptococcus salivarius K12 Streptococcus salivarius K12 (Dose 1: 1 Billion colony forming units /g) |
Dietary Supplement: Streptococcus salivarius K12 Powder 1 Billion colony forming units /g)
Probiotic Streptococcus salivarius K12 products are commercially available in traditional formats such as lozenges for local delivery in the oral cavity to provide oral health benefits. In this study, a powder formulation will be evaluated for its potential of delivering probiotic Streptococcus salivarius K12 to the oral cavity.

| Active Comparator: Streptococcus salivarius K12 with a prebiotic included Streptococcus salivarius K12 (Dose 1: 1 Billion colony forming units /g) |
Dietary Supplement: Streptococcus salivarius K12 Powder (1 Billion colony forming units /g) with a prebiotic included
In this study, a powder formulation containing Streptococcus salivarius K12 and a prebiotic will be evaluated for its potential of delivering probiotic Streptococcus salivarius K12 to the oral cavity.
|
| Active Comparator: Streptococcus salivarius M18 Streptococcus salivarius M18 (Dose 1: 1 Billion colony forming units /g) |
Dietary Supplement: Streptococcus salivarius M18 Powder (1 Billion colony forming units /g)
In this study, a powder formulation will be evaluated for its potential of delivering probiotic Streptococcus salivarius M18 to the oral cavity.

| Active Comparator: Streptococcus salivarius M18 with a prebiotic included Streptococcus salivarius M18 (Dose 1: 1 Billion colony forming units /g) |
Dietary Supplement: Streptococcus salivarius M18 Powder (1 Billion colony forming units /g) with a prebiotic included
In this study, a powder formulation containing S. salivarius M18 and a prebiotic will be evaluated for its potential of delivering probiotic Streptococcus salivarius M18 to the oral cavity.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change in antiviral activity following dosing with probiotic S. salivarius K12 in saliva from Day 0 (baseline) to 3 hours [3 hours post intervention]
Study will determine the antiviral activity of Streptococcus salivarius K12 without prebiotic in a powder format. The antiviral and antibacterial activity in the saliva will be determined using appropriate assays and Statistical analysis (e.g. Students t-test) will be carried out to compare the participants data for different days (pre and post time points) and different formulations with the level of significance of p≤0.05.Overall colonization based on percentage of population colonized for different interventions will also be analyzed average and standard deviation functions using appropriate statistical analysis software (e.g Microsoft Excel).
- Change in antiviral activity following dosing with probiotic S. salivarius K12 in saliva from Day 0 (baseline) to 8 hours [8 hours post intervention]
Study will determine the antiviral activity of Streptococcus salivarius K12 without prebiotic in a powder format. The antiviral and antibacterial activity in the saliva will be determined using appropriate assays and Statistical analysis (e.g. Students t-test) will be carried out to compare the participants data for different days (pre and post time points) and different formulations with the level of significance of p≤0.05.Overall colonization based on percentage of population colonized for different interventions will also be analyzed average and standard deviation functions using appropriate statistical analysis software (e.g Microsoft Excel).
