Lumina is working to develop and distribute oral probiotics that outcompete typical mouth bacteria and do not excrete cavity-causing lactic acid: https://www.luminaprobiotic.com/

Some people are allegedly already undergoing this treatment: https://twitter.com/Aella_Girl/status/1726388994575929610?t=a1n14mUOcYVxA4PJzEENgg

My question is, is it possible for this GMO bacteria to spread directly between two people? The transmission could be intentional or accidental, but must be direct (doesn't count if it's cultured outside of the mouth before being applied)

I will resolve to YES if I get and confirm a credible and unambiguous report of this happening by the end of 2025, or NO if I do not.

Can BCS3-L1 spread from mouth-to-mouth?

Will the Lumina oral probiotic treatment reduce the rate of cavities by at least 50% in the 4 years after application?

Will I get an oral inoculation against cavities through GMO bacteria, via Lantern Bioworks or similar, by end of 2033?

Will the scientific consensus in 2030 be that Lantern Bioworks' Lumina Probiotic is effective at reducing cavities?

In 5 years, swapping mouth bacteria will be seen as a feasible idea (resolves to poll)

Does Lantern Bioworks' product to prevent cavities also eliminate "morning breath"?

By 2050 will FDA approved plastic eating probiotics exist?

How long will the Lumina oral probiotic last in your mouth, by median?
