Streptococcus mutans and cardiovascular diseases

2008-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus mutans, a pathogen of dental caries, is known to be associated with bacteremia and infective endocarditis (IE). The bacterium has been classified into four serotypes, c, e, f, and k, based on the chemical composition of the serotype-specific rhamnose-glucose polymers. Serotype k, recently designated and initially found in blood isolates, features a drastic reduction of glucose side chains attached to...
