Visualizing the dental biofilm matrix by means of fluorescence lectin-binding analysis

Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2017
The extracellular matrix is a poorly studied, yet important component of dental biofilms. Fluorescence lectin-binding analysis (FLBA) is a powerful tool to characterize glycoconjugates in the biofilm matrix. This study aimed to systematically investigate
