Antibodies against dextransucrase from Streptococcus mutans display anti-biofilm and growth suppressing activities

2021-02-24

Abstract excerpt

Dextransucrase produced by Streptococcus mutans play an essential role in the formation of dental caries by synthesizing exopolysaccharides from sucrose, an important metabolite of the organism. In this study we report the location of dextransucrase in Streptococcus mutans cells and describe that antibodies raised against dextransucrase inhibited biofilm formation and reduced the adherence and hydrophobic properti...
