Abstract excerpt

The ability of Streptococcus mutans to produce mutacins, combined with the production of other virulence factors such as lactic acid, may contribute to the pathogenesis of this bacterium. In the present study, the detection of genes encoding mutacin types I/III, II and IV was performed by PCR with specific primers to each type in a total of 63 S. mutans genotypes isolated from caries-active and caries-free...
