Targeted antimicrobial therapy against Streptococcus mutans establishes protective non-cariogenic oral biofilms and reduces subsequent infection. [PDF]
International Journal of Oral Science, 2010 AimDental biofilms are complex communities composed largely of harmless bacteria. Certain pathogenic species including Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) can become predominant when host factors such as dietary sucrose intake imbalance the biofilm ecology.

Synthetic antigen-binding fragments (Fabs) against S. mutans and S. sobrinus inhibit caries formation. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2018 AbstractStreptococcus mutansandStreptococcus sobrinusare the main causative agents of human dental caries. Current strategies for treating caries are costly and do not completely eradicate them completely. Passive immunization using nonhuman antibodies against Streptococcal surface antigens has shown success in human trials, however they often invoke ...

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 ...

Lactobacillus plantarum lipoteichoic acid inhibits biofilm formation of Streptococcus mutans.
PLoS ONE, 2018 Dental caries is a biofilm-dependent oral disease and Streptococcus mutans is the known primary etiologic agent of dental caries that initiates biofilm formation on tooth surfaces.

PLoS ONE, 2023 The presence of Streptococcus mutans expressing Cnm protein encoded by cnm (cnm-positive S. mutans) in the oral cavity is associated with immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy (IgAN). However, the precise mechanism by which cnm-positive S.

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),
