Dental plaque biofilm transforms host-derived β2-microglobulin into polymorphic fibrils for integration into the biofilm matrix [PDF]
BiofilmDental plaque is a polymicrobial biofilm formed on tooth surfaces despite continuous exposure to variable host-derived antimicrobial factors. To date, the underlying mechanisms remain nebulous. This study aimed to determine whether dental plaque biofilms
