The Effects of Quorum Sensing Molecules on Streptococcus mutans Biofilm [PDF]

, 2022
The use of quorum quenching (QQ) molecules to prevent biofilm formation has recently gained momentum. Interrupting the quorum sensing (QS) pathways of cariogenic bacteria like Streptococcus mutans could reduce the formation of dental plaque on teeth ...

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.

Proteome analysis identifies the Dpr protein of Streptococcus mutans as an important factor in the presence of early streptococcal colonizers of tooth surfaces. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Oral streptococci are primary colonizers of tooth surfaces and Streptococcus mutans is the principal causative agent of dental caries in humans. A number of proteins are involved in the formation of monospecies biofilms by S. mutans.

Differentiation of banding patterns between Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus isolates in rep-PCR using ERIC primer

Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2011
Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus are considered to be important bacterial species in the initiation of human dental caries. Therefore, the establishment of a reliable genotyping method to distinguish S. mutans from S.

Inhibition of Streptococcus mutans by a commercial yogurt drink

Journal of Dental Sciences, 2019
Background/Purpose: Studies have been focused on using probiotics to prevent caries. The lactobacillus probiotic bacteria in Yakult® (LcY) has been shown to inhibit the growth or biofilm formation of Streptococcus mutans.

Streptococcus mutans Can Modulate Biofilm Formation and Attenuate the Virulence of Candida albicans. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans are found together in the oral biofilms on dental surfaces, but little is known about the ecological interactions between these species. Here, we studied the effects of S.

Infection of Human Dental Pulp Stromal Cells by Streptococcus mutans: Shedding Light on Bacteria Pathogenicity and Pulp Inflammation

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
Cariogenic Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) is implicated in the dental pulp necrosis but also in cardiovascular tissue infections. Herein, the purpose was to elucidate how human dental pulp derived stromal cells (DPSCs) react toward a direct interaction

Investigating the effect of the concentration of Fluoride on the reproduction of S. Mutans [PDF]

, 2011
The bacterium S. Mutans is known as the bacterium which is one of the reasons of the cavities in humans mouth. It basically combines with sugar and this makes the bacterium to adhere onto the teeth and after this the cavities begin to occur.

The role of Kuniran (U. moluccensis) and Gurami (O. goramy) fish thorns and scales in increasing salivary leukocyte and monocyte cells viability against Streptococcus mutans

Dental Journal, 2019
Background: Kuniran thorns and Gurami fish scales are rich in protein and minerals such as dentin believed to increase cell viability against Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) that causes dental caries.
