Abstract excerpt
Relationships between genetic diversity and mutacin production in Streptococcus mutans were evaluated in 319 clinical isolates from eight caries-affected and eight caries-free individuals. The isolates were submitted to mutacin typing and AP-PCR (arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction) assay. The mutacin production was detected for 12 Streptococcus sp. indicator strains. Results showed significant...
