Qualitative assessment of S. mutans biofilms grown in the presence of test compounds. Control biofilms show high density of cells with homogeneous shape (A). While, cells treated with chlorhexidine digluconate (B), carvacrol (C) and thymol (D) show short chains of cells with many deformed and lysed cells marked by arrows (refer to Additional file 1 for raw data)
