Mutacin Production by <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> May Promote Transmission of Bacteria from Mother to Child

1 Jun 1998

Abstract excerpt

The production of bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances, mutacins, by mutans streptococci varies among isolates. To find if the degree of mutacin activity of an isolate was related to its transmission between mother and her child, 19 mothers and their 18-month- to 3-year-old children were sampled for their oral mutans streptococci. In addition, the stability of mutacin activity was studied with isolates from the...
