Biofilm can be a health problem, one of which is dental caries. Tyrosol is <em>Quorum Sensing</em> which is owned by <em>Candida albicans</em> and has anti-biofilm and antibacterial properties on <em>Streptococcus mutans</em><em>.</em></p> <p><strong>Purpose: </strong>To analyze the effect of <em>quorum sensing</em> tyrosol (antibiofilm and antibacterial) on <em>Streptococcus mutans</em><em>.</em></p> <p><strong>Method:</strong> This study uses the narrative review method. The literature sources used come from the digital databases ScienceDirect, Pubmed, and Proquest. Inclusion criteria published in the period 2005-2022, in the form of research results or review articles, and can be accessed in full text.</p> <p><strong>Discussion: </strong>Some literature states that tyrosol can cause a decrease in <em>Streptococcus mutans</em> biofilm formation. Tyrosol synthesizes the <em>Flo8</em> gene which plays a role in hypha formation and virulence. <em>Flo8</em> can induce ALS1 to inhibit AgI/II synthesis. The phenolic content in tyrosol can suppress the production of <em>glucosyltransferases</em> produced by <em>S. mutans</em>, causing a decrease in biofilm formation, damage the cytoplasmic membrane and inhibit bacterial DNA synthesis.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Tyrosol can inhibit biofilm formation and antibacterial <em>S. mutans</em> by involving the <em>QS</em> mechanism. The phenolic content in tyrosol has anti-biofilm and antibacterial properties on <em>S. mutans</em><em>.</em></p> Indah Listiana Kriswandini , Ira Arundina, Devy Ratriana Amiati Copyright (c) 2023 Indah Listiana Kriswandini , Ira Arundina, Devy Ratriana Amiati https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://dzarc.com/medical/article/view/393 Wed, 04 Oct 2023 00:00:00 +0000
