Abstract excerpt
This study aimed to study whether the Sortase A (srtA) gene helps mediate coaggregation and co-adherence between Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) and other salivary bacteria. S. mutans UA159 and srtA-deficient mutant served as "bait" in classical co-aggregation assays and membrane-based co-adherence assays were used to examine interactions of S. mutans with Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum), Streptococcus...
