Synthesis of Methacrylate Monomers with Antibacterial Effects Against S. Mutans [PDF]
Molecules, 2011 A series of polymerizable quaternary ammonium compounds were synthesized with the aim of using them as immobilized antibacterial agents in methacrylate dental composites, and their structures were characterized by FT-IR, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR analysis. Their antibacterial activities against the oral bacterium Streptococcus mutans were evaluated in vitro ...

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

Targeted antimicrobial therapy against Streptococcus mutans establishes protective non-cariogenic oral biofilms and reduces subsequent infection. [PDF]
, 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.
