Effects of resveratrol on cariogenic virulence properties of Streptococcus mutans
BMC Microbiology, 2019 Streptococcus mutans is the principal etiological agent of human dental caries. The major virulence factors of S. mutans are acid production, acid tolerance, extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) synthesis and biofilm formation.

Effect of a novel synbiotic on Streptococcus mutans [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 AbstractWe examined the effect of L-arginine - (i) on the growth of L. rhamnosus GG (LrG) and (ii) combined LrG synbiotic on the growth of cariogenic S. mutans. Viability of LrG was assessed using MTT/XTT assays, confocal imaging with ADS activity measurement. The effect of L-arginine (0.5%/1%/2%) (2×/24 h) with LrG on S.

Multivariate cluster point process to quantify and explore multi-entity configurations: Application to biofilm image data [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Clusters of similar or dissimilar objects are encountered in many fields. Frequently used approaches treat the central object of each cluster as latent. Yet, often objects of one or more types cluster around objects of another type. Such arrangements are common in biomedical images of cells, in which nearby cell types likely interact.

Antimicrobial peptide GH12 suppresses cariogenic virulence factors of Streptococcus mutans
Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2018 Cariogenic virulence factors of Streptococcus mutans include acidogenicity, aciduricity, and extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) synthesis. The de novo designed antimicrobial peptide GH12 has shown bactericidal effects on S.

Streptococcus mutans endocarditis: beware of the 'diphtheroid' [PDF]
Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, 2005 Streptococcus mutans, a major cause of dental caries and endocarditis, is easily dismissed by the inexperienced as a common non-pathogenic skin bacterial contaminant termed ‘diphtheroid’.
