Previously, we isolated and characterized a new Streptococcus mutans strain (serotype k) from human blood and oral cavity samples, and found that the serological properties of serotype k strains were similar to those of a gluA-inactivated mutant strain of MT8148 (MT8148GD). MT8148GD showed significantly lower sucrose-dependent adhesion to glass surfaces, sucrose-independent adhesion to saliva-coated...
