Dental caries is a biofilm-mediated disease with Streptococcus mutans as the main pathogenic microorganism, and its incidence is closely related to sucrose. Rubusoside is a natural non-nutritive sweetener isolated from Rubus suavissimu S.Lee. This study was designed to determine the effect of the sucrose substitute on cariogenic properties and virulence gene expression of S. mutans biofilms. S. mutans was exposed to BHI medium (as a control), BHI+1% sucrose, BHI+1% rubusoside, and BHI +1% xylitol. The growth curve of biofilm was monitored with crystal viole
