Oral Microbiome in Systemic Autoimmune Diseases: A Systematic Review
Oral Diseases, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective The oral cavity represents a key but underexplored interface between host immunity and microbial communities. The aim of this systematic review was to synthesize current literature on oral microbiota alterations in systemic autoimmune diseases.

Roles of Streptococcus mutans in human health: beyond dental caries
Frontiers in MicrobiologyStreptococcus mutans (S. mutans) is the main pathogenic bacterium causing dental caries, and the modes in which its traits, such as acid production, acid tolerance, and adhesion that contribute to the dental caries process, has been clarified. However, a

The serotype-specific glucose side chain of rhamnose-glucose polysaccharides is essential for adsorption of bacteriophage M102 to Streptococcus mutans [PDF]
, 2017 Bacteriophage M102 is a virulent siphophage that propagates in some serotype c Streptococcus mutans strains, but not in S. mutans of serotype e, f or k. The serotype of S. mutans is determined by the glucose side chain of rhamnose-glucose polysaccharide (

Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The dual‐species biofilms formed by Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans exhibit enhanced cariogenic potential due to the production of extracellular polysaccharides (EPSs). The response regulator GcrR in S. mutans negatively regulates EPS synthesis, but its impact on dual‐species biofilms remains unclear.

The ComEA/ComEC Operon is Critical for Nitrosative Stress Tolerance by an Oral Commensal
Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Oral commensal streptococci play a large role in mediating microbial homeostasis. Our prior work has demonstrated that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) produced by oral commensal streptococci can react with salivary nitrite (NO2) and generate peroxynitrite (ONOO−), a potent antimicrobial.
