Streptococcus mutans Serotypes in Young Schoolchildren
Caries Research, 1977The frequency of five Streptococcus mutans serotypes (a, b, c, d and e) was investigated in relation to tooth surface and its caries status in young schoolchildren. In the first study, plaque from the five surfaces of a second deciduous molar in 104 five-year-olds was examined for the presence of S. mutans.

Activation of plasminogen by Streptococcus mutans
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2004Streptococcus mutans, a member of the viridans streptococci, is the etiologic agent of dental caries and is also a causative agent of subacute infective endocarditis. The generation of proteolytic molecules, such as plasmin, may be important in the pathogenesis of endocarditis caused by S. mutans. In this study, we demonstrate that S. mutans cells have

Intracellular Polysaccharide Metabolism in Streptococcus mutans
Caries Research, 1978Fermentation products produced from endogenous intracellular polysaccharide and from exogenous glucose were investigated in non-growing cell suspensions of Streptococcus mutans strain C180-2 and its mutant A14, which lacked the ability to produce intracellular iodophilic polysaccharide. In the presence of excess exogenous glucose, S.

Extrachromosomal Gene Systems in Streptococcus Mutans
19781) Four of 86 S. mutans strains of human origin harbor a 3.6 Mdal multicopy plasmid while 2 of 13 strains of rat origin carry multiple copies of a 2.3 Mdal and 2.5 Mdal plasmid. 2) There is no evidence to support that any of these plasmids confers clinically or ecologically important phenotypes.

Streptococcus mutans vertebral osteomyelitis.
Heart & lung : the journal of critical care, 1988Vertebral osteomyelitis is a disease most often encountered in the adult population, especially in the elderly. The usual etiologic agent is Staphylococcus aureus. We report a case of Streptococcus mutans endocarditis resulting in hematogenous osteomyelitis of the lumbar vertebrae.

Genetic Analysis of Streptococcus mutans Virulence
1985CLARKE (1924) first isolated and described a streptococcus from a human carious lesion and inferred that it was a potential causative agent of dental caries. He named the organism Streptococcus mutans. This observation went unnoticed for some 35 years until ORLAND (1959) demonstrated that enterococci could cause dental caries in germ-free rats and ...
