Exploring the Evolution of the Cariogenic Oral Pathobiont <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> Using Ancient DNA

2025-12-04

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The oral pathobiont Streptococcus mutans can contribute to dental caries development through metabolism of dietary carbohydrates. Adoption of carbohydrate-rich agricultural diets is associated with increased prevalence of dental caries in archaeological populations; however, the evolutionary impact of changing subsistence strategies on cariogenic microbes like S. mutans remains to be explored....
