Sucrose-derived exopolysaccharides of Streptococcus mutans V403 contribute to infectivity in endocarditis.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Apr 1993

Munro C L, Macrina F L

Abstract excerpt

We used an isogenic mutant of Streptococcus mutans V403, which differs from the wild-type V403 in genes involved in glucan and fructan production, to examine the importance of these exopolysaccharides as factors affecting infectivity in endocarditis. Rats inoculated with V403 developed endocarditis more frequently than animals inoculated with the mutant strain which produced neither glucan nor fructan (58% versus...
