Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To gain an understanding of the relationship between the genetic diversity within the V-region, P-region, C-terminus of surface protein of Streptococcus mutans (serotype c) and their adherent abilities. METHODS: The clinical isolates of S. mutans (serotype c) in two groups with different adherent abilities (cpm>2000, cpm<1000) had been prepared in our experimental laboratory. The genome DNA was...
