Copper ions inhibit Streptococcus mutans–Veillonella parvula dual biofilm by activating Streptococcus mutans reactive nitrogen species

open access: yesBMC Oral Health, 2023
Background To investigate the inhibition mechanism of copper ions on Streptococcus mutans–Veillonella parvula dual biofilm. Methods S. mutans–V. parvula dual biofilm was constructed and copper ions were added at different concentrations.

Virulence of Streptococcus mutans: cariogenicity of S. mutans in adult gnotobiotic rats [PDF]

open access: yesInfection 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 membrane vesicles inhibit the biofilm formation of Streptococcus gordonii and Streptococcus sanguinis

open access: yesAMB Express, 2022
Streptococcus mutans, whose main virulence factor is glucosyltransferase (Gtf), has a substantial impact on the development of dental caries. S. mutans membrane vesicles (MVs), which are rich in Gtfs, have been shown to affect biofilm formation of other ...

In vitro inhibition of adherence of Streptococcus mutans strains by nonadherent mutants of S. mutans 6715 [PDF]

open access: yesInfection and Immunity, 1985
Four nonadherent mutants from Streptococcus mutans 6715 mutant UAB66 (serotype g) with similar phenotypes were shown to inhibit the adherence of adherence-proficient S. mutans serotypes c and g strains. One mutant, UAB108, was shown to inhibit adherence by wild-type strains representing serotypes a, d, and e as well.

Streptococcus mutans-associated bacteria in dental plaque of severe early childhood caries

open access: yesJournal 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.

Streptococcus mutans carriage in the saliva of mothers and its association with dental caries and Streptococcus mutans carriage in the saliva of children between 6 and 30 months old in a low‐income setting in Karachi, Pakistan

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Dental Research, 2022
Background Early childhood caries poses a significant health issue in children under 6 years old. It is determined that Streptococcus mutans is a primary etiological agent, likely to be transferred through maternal contact.

Streptococcus mutans Membrane Vesicles Harboring Glucosyltransferases Augment Candida albicans Biofilm Development

open access: yesFrontiers 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.
