Comparative analysis of a monoclonal antibody-based Streptococcus mutans detection method with selective culture assays using polymerase chain reaction as a gold standard.
The aim of this study was to compare a recently developed monoclonal antibody (MAb)-based salivary Streptococcus mutans detection method with various selective media using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) as the gold standard. Salivary S. mutans cells were enumerated with a MAb-based method, along with three commonly used selective media, mitis-salivarius-bacitracin agar (MSB), trypticase yeast-...
متن کاملPhenotypic and Molecular Identification of Non- Mutans Streptococci Organisms Recovered on Mitis-salivarius Bacitracin Agar from Caries Active Subjects
Dental caries is one of the most common oral infectious disease affecting humans worldwide and Mutans Streptococci (MS) have been implicated as major cariogenic bacteria. The “low-pH non-Mutans Streptococci Organisms (non-MSO) have been identified as atypical strains in caries plaque samples, in the absence of MS group. The non-MSO usually competes with MS group for colonizing on the tooth surf...
متن کاملDifferential recovery of Streptococcus mutans from various mitis-salivarius agar preparations.
Recoveries of Streptococcus mutans from human dental plaque were lower when plated on mitis-salivarius agar obtained from Baltimore Biological Laboratories as compared with mitis-salivarius agar obtained from Difco Laboratories. However, no difference in recoveries of established laboratory strains of S. mutans was observed between these two agar preparations.

J Bacteriol Mycol Open Access 2017, 4(4): 00102 S. mutans is considered to be an important biomarker of caries risk assessment. There are various methods to detect the S. mutans counts that include both conventional as well as latest advancements. The various conventional culture medias used are mitis salivarius with bacitracin (MSB), mitis salivarius kanamycinbacitracin (MSKB), glucose-sucrose...
