Analysis of Bacterial Activity in Sound and Cariogenic Biofilm: A Pilot in vivo Study
1 Jan 2016
Abstract excerpt
Dental caries is a multifactorial disease with many associated microbial taxa, but only a few are notably contributing to acidogenicity. The ribosome number and the corresponding 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) concentration are considered a molecular indicator for general metabolic activity of bacteria, as they are elevated with increased anabolic and catabolic activities. We hypothesize that the activity of...
