The genomic history of Streptococcus mutans from the Mesolithic until modern times

2026-01-19

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> <italic>Streptococcus mutans</italic> is a member of the human oral microbiota and is considered one of the most important cariogenic organisms. Previous studies have suggested an expansion of <italic>S. mutans</italic> populations about 10,000 years ago with the onset of agriculture, yet direct molecular evidence of its presence from ancient DNA remains sparse. Here, we present po...
