Novel sucrose-dependent adhesion co-factors in Streptococcus mutans.

Journal of dental research - 1 Jul 2002

Tao L, Tanzer J M

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus mutans glucosyltransferases form extracellular glucans from sucrose to promote adhesion to the teeth. We tested whether additional factors are involved in S. mutans sucrose-dependent adhesion. By screening a pVA891-insertion mutant library of S. mutans LT11, we isolated four clones deficient in adhesion to glass in the presence of sucrose, but normal in glucosyltransferase activities. The genetic...
