Effect of topical anti-Streptococcus mutans IgY gel on quantity of S. mutans on rats’ tooth surface [PDF]
Acta Microbiologica et Immunologica Hungarica, 2016 This study aims to evaluate the effect of anti-Streptococcus mutans IgY gel on quantity of S. mutans on rats’ tooth surface. Sprague Dawley rats were exposed intra-orally with S. mutans Xc and were fed a caries-inducing diet 2000. The 24 rats were divided into four groups: group A had their teeth coated with IgY gel; group B received sterilized water ...

Characteristics and influencing factors of amyloid fibers in S. mutans biofilm. [PDF]
AMB Express, 2019 There are signs that amyloid fibers exist in Streptococcus mutans biofilm recently. However, the characteristics of amyloid fibers and fibrillation influencing factors are unknown. In this study, we firstly used transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) to observe the morphology of amyloid fibers in S. mutans.

Biological and Immunogenicity Property of IgY Anti S. mutans ComD. [PDF]
Open Dent J, 2016 Objective:This study aims to elucidate the effect of IgY anti ComD on the biological properties ofStreptococcus mutans. (S. mutans)ComD is an interspecies quorum-sensing signaling receptor that plays an important role in biofilm formation byS. mutans.Materials and Methodology:Egg yolk IgY was produced by the immunization of chickens with a DNA vaccine ...

Virulence of Streptococcus mutans: cariogenicity of S. mutans in adult gnotobiotic rats [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1977 Gnotobiotic rats infected with Streptococcus mutant 6715, mutans C211 at 45 days of age on provided a purified diet containing 5% sucrose developed carious lesions on buccal, sulcal, and proximal molar surfaces within 15 days (60 days of age). The level of caries increased significantly (P less than or equal to 0.01) within the next 15 days (by day 75),

Streptococcus mutans-associated bacteria in dental plaque of severe early childhood caries
Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2022 Background Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) is a potential pathogenic bacteria of dental caries. However, the level of S. mutans is low in some children with severe early childhood caries (SECC)Aim To evaluate the effect of S.
