Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the genicity of the extended- variable region (V+) of surface proteins of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans, serotype c,f) and provide some genetic informations on the molecular structure of S. mutans surface protein. METHODS: 7 standard strains and 110 clinical isolates of S.mutans were selected.The bacterial DNA was extracted and the extended-V region (srV+...
