Role of sucrose in the fitness of Streptococcus mutans.

Oral microbiology and immunology - 1 Jun 2008

Kreth J, Zhu L, Merritt J, Shi W, Qi F

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Dental caries has been closely linked to fermentable carbohydrates as key environmental factors. Sucrose has been identified as the most cariogenic carbohydrate. Streptococcus mutans, considered to be the primary pathogen causing dental caries, is able to utilize sucrose as a nutrient source, partially for the production of intracellular storage components and for the production of extracellular...
