Transmission, diversity and virulence factors of Streptococcus mutans genotypes
Dental caries is an infectious and transmissible disease, in which many genetic, environmental and behavioral risk factors interact. The mutans streptococci (MS), mainly Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus are the microorganisms most strongly associated with this disease. The main virulence factors associated with MS cariogenicity include adhesion, acidogenicity and acid tolerance. ...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Effect of Kids Dentifrices on Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus acidophilus: An In-Vitro Study
Background and purpose: Dental caries is one of the most common bacterial diseases in childhood. Using proper dentifrice is suggested to reduce the incidence of this disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial effects of different brands of children's dentifrice available in Iran’s market on Streptococcus mutans (PTCC1683) and Lactobacillus acidophilus (PTCC4356) strains...
متن کاملLongitudinal study of transmission, diversity, and stability of Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus genotypes in Brazilian nursery children.
The aim of this study was to perform a follow-up evaluation of the Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus colonization profile of children's oral cavities, which included the pattern of vertical transmission from mother to child, genotypic diversity, and stability of the strains. The subjects were 16 mother-child pairs, who were monitored for 20 months. Samples of saliva, tongue dorsum...
متن کاملEffects of oxygen on virulence traits of Streptococcus mutans.
Oxygen profoundly affects the composition of oral biofilms. Recently, we showed that exposure of Streptococcus mutans to oxygen strongly inhibits biofilm formation and alters cell surface biogenesis. To begin to dissect the underlying mechanisms by which oxygen affects known virulence traits of S. mutans, transcription profiling was used to show that roughly 5% of the genes of this organism are...
