In silico analysis unravels the promising anticariogenic efficacy of fatty acids against dental caries causing Streptococcus mutans
22 Nov 2023
Abstract excerpt
Globally, dental caries is a prevalent oral disease caused by cariogenic bacteria, primarily Streptococcus mutans. It establishes caries either through sucrose-dependent (via glycosyltransferases) or through sucrose-independent (via surface adhesins Antigen I/II) mechanism. Sortase A (srtA) attaches virulence-associated adhesins to host tissues. Because of their importance in the formation of caries, targeting...
