Effects of Complex DNA and MVs with GTF Extracted from Streptococcus mutans on the Oral Biofilm
28 Aug 2019
Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus mutans is one of the principal pathogens for the development of dental caries. Oral biofilms formed by S. mutans are constructed of insoluble glucan formation induced by the principal enzymes, GTF-I and GTF-SI, in sucrose-containing conditions. However, as another means of biofilm formation, extracellular DNA (eDNA) and membrane vesicles (MVs) are also contributors. To explore the roles of eDNA and...
