Antidiabetic “gliptins” affect biofilm formation by <i>Streptococcus mutans</i>

2017-06-29

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus mutans , a dental caries causing odontopathogen, produces X-prolyl dipeptidyl peptidase (Sm-XPDAP, encoded by pepX ), a serine protease known to have a nutritional role. Considering the potential of proteases as therapeutic targets in pathogens, this study was primarily aimed at investigating the role of Sm-XPDAP in contributing to virulence-related traits. Dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP IV), an XPDAP an...
