Effect of high‐fructose corn syrup on <i><scp>S</scp>treptococcus mutans</i> virulence gene expression and on tooth demineralization
12 May 2014
Abstract excerpt
High-fructose corn syrup-55 (HFCS-55) has been widely welcomed in recent years as a substitute for sucrose on the basis of its favourable properties and price. The objective of this study was to determine the influence of HFCS-55 on the expression of Streptococcus mutans UA159 virulence genes and on tooth demineralization.
