Serotype and distribution of adhesion genes in <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> clinical isolates

2024-04-09

Abstract excerpt

The delicate balance of the oral cavity is disrupted by hygiene and diet changes, leading to caries. The virulence of Streptococcus mutans , a key caries pathogen, is partly explained by its rhamnose-glucose polysaccharide (RGP) and its sucrose-dependent and -independent adhesion mechanisms. This study investigates the diversity of S. mutans through analysis of its RGP and the distribution of sucrose-independent...
