Pathobiont-mediated spatial structuring enhances biofilm virulence in childhood oral disease
2022-06-17
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Microbiome studies are revealing complex microbiota in biofilm-mediated human diseases commonly linked with specific bacterial pathogens. <italic>Streptococcus mutans</italic> has been implicated as the primary pathogen in childhood dental caries (tooth decay). While the role of polymicrobial communities is appreciated, it remains unclear whether other microorganisms are active contribu...
