Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To explore and compare the genetic polymorphisms of the sortase A (srtA) gene found in Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) infecting two-year-old children suffering early childhood caries to those found in caries-free children through molecular identification methods. METHODS: Clinical S. mutans strains were isolated from the dental plaques of two-year-old children. Fifteen strains of S. mutans from the...
