Strain-Level Diversity Decouples Biofilm Architecture, Acidogenic and Aciduric Traits, and Antimicrobial Tolerance in <i>Streptococcus mutans</i>
2026-08-26
Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus mutans is a key contributor to dental caries, with its capacity to form structured biofilm microcolonies being a principal component of its cariogenic potential. Yet, most mechanistic studies rely on a limited number of laboratory strains and may not capture the functional diversity present across the species. Here, we characterized a panel of phenotypically and genomically diverse S. mutans isolate...
