[Effects of immA and immB coding putative bacteriocin immunity proteins on the antimicrobial sensitivity in planktonic Streptococcus mutans and biofilm formation].

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of putative bacteriocin immunity proteins on the growth mode of Streptococcus mutans (Sm). To observe the differences of antimicrobial sensitivity in planktonic Sm wild-type strains and mutant strains caused by the inactivation of bacteriocin immunity proteins and their influence on the biofilm formation. METHODS: Sm wild-type strains (WT) and its knockout mutants defective...
