Relationship between the genetic polymorphisms of vicR and vicK Streptococcus mutans genes and early childhood caries in two-year-old children
12 Mar 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The VicRK two-component signalling system regulates virulence and cariogenicity in Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans). The purpose of this study was to explore the genetic polymorphisms of the vicR and vicK genes, which are associated with dental caries in children with S. mutans. METHODS: In this study, 121 (from each group) clinical S. mutans strains were isolated from caries-free children and...
