Genotypic diversity of mutans streptococci in Brazilian nursery children suggests horizontal transmission.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Jun 2001

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus mutans strains were isolated from cohorts of Brazilian nursery school children and genotyped by arbitrarily primed PCR and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. Of 24 children with two to five S. mutans isolates, 29% carried two or more genotypes. The presence of matching genotypes of S. mutans among children attending one nursery suggests horizontal transmission.
