Anti-biofilm and anti-glucosyltransferase effects of nano liposomal plant extracts against Streptococcus mutans [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The role of Streptococcus mutans in the initiation of caries is related to its acidogenicity, aciduricity, and polysaccharides extracellular layer production by glucosyltransferases in dental biofilms.

Exopolysaccharides of Streptococcus mutans Enhance Oral Colonisation and Drug Tolerance in Helicobacter pylori [PDF]

International Dental Journal
Introduction and aims: The oral cavity is an extragastric reservoir for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), preventing its gastric eradication and causing recurrence. However, the oral environment is not ideal for H.

Water-insoluble exopolysaccharide synthesized by glucosyltransferases mediates the antibacterial activity of ClyR against Streptococcus mutans [PDF]

Journal of Oral Microbiology
Background Dental caries is a widespread global health issue strongly associated with Streptococcus mutans. Bacteriophage-derived lytic enzymes such as ClyR hold considerable promise as antibacterial potential, but the molecular mechanisms underlying ...

Molecular insights into antibiofilm inhibitors of Streptococcus mutans glucosyltransferases through in silico approaches [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Streptococcus mutans, a primary cariogenic bacterium, plays a central role in dental caries, one of the most widespread chronic diseases globally. Glucosyltransferases (GTFs) are key virulence factors in this process, as they synthesize extracellular ...

LiP-MS reveals a feedback loop of tomato UDP-glucosyltransferases managing bioactive jasmonate homeostasis

Cell Reports
Summary: Jasmonic acid (JA) is the precursor of the bioactive molecule jasmonoyl-isoleucine (JA-Ile), a plant hormone that regulates fitness and development. Although JA biosynthesis, signaling, and responses have been intensively studied, the catabolism

Virtual Screening, Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Streptococcus mutans Mediated Biofilm Inhibitors

Molecules, 2022
Dental caries, a global oral health concern, is a biofilm-mediated disease. Streptococcus mutans, the most prevalent oral microbiota, produces extracellular enzymes, including glycosyltransferases responsible for sucrose polymerization.

Ursolic Acid Targets Glucosyltransferase and Inhibits Its Activity to Prevent Streptococcus mutans Biofilm Formation

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans), the prime pathogen of dental caries, can secrete glucosyltransferases (GTFs) to synthesize extracellular polysaccharides (EPSs), which are the virulence determinants of cariogenic biofilms.

Streptococcus mutans Membrane Vesicles Harboring Glucosyltransferases Augment Candida albicans Biofilm Development

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Candida albicans, as the most common fungus in the oral cavity, is often detected in early childhood caries. Streptococcus mutans is the major etiological agent of dental caries, but the role of S. mutans on C.
