Antimicrobial Properties of Biofunctionalized Silver Nanoparticles on Clinical Isolates of Streptococcus mutans and Its Serotypes

Nanomaterials, 2016
(1) Background: Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) is the principal pathogen involved in the formation of dental caries. Other systemic diseases have also been associated with specific S. mutans serotypes (c, e, f, and k).

Laser‐Synthesized Carbon‐Coated Elemental Bismuth Nanoparticles for Sustained Reactive Oxygen Species Generation Under Visible‐Light Irradiation

Small, EarlyView.
Femtosecond laser ablation of bismuth in acetone yields carbon‐coated nanoparticles with a metallic Bi0 core and an amorphous carbon shell. The core‐shell architecture preserves visible‐light‐driven redox activity and enables sustained hydroxyl‐radical generation.

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Spatial Patterns and Associated Factors of Intestinal Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Farmed Bullfrogs From Selected Farms Across Major Production Regions in China

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Across selected bullfrog farms in major Chinese production regions, 106 intestinal ARG subtypes were detected, with tetracycline and sulfonamide resistance genes predominating and clear farm‐level variation. High‐risk ARGs, including ermB, floR, and qnrA, were associated with heavy metals, MGEs, and opportunistic pathogens. These findings highlight the

investigating acid production by Streptococcus mutans with a surface-displayed pH-sensitive green fluorescent protein. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Acidogenicity and aciduricity are the main virulence factors of the cavity-causing bacterium Streptococcus mutans. Monitoring at the individual cell level the temporal and spatial distribution of acid produced by this important oral pathogen is central ...

In vitro bacterial plaque suppression and recolonization by S-mutans and S-sobrinus [PDF]

, 2015
The in vitro study of the interactions between S. mutans and S. sobrinus is important to determine the role of these microorganisms in the formation of biofilms on dental structures and their potential to induce carious lesions.
