Streptococcus Mutans and its Detection - The Battle Continues

چکیده
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 tellurite-bacitracin (GSTB), trypticase soy-sucrose bacitracin (TYS20B) and tryptone-yeastcysteine sucrose-bacitracin (TYCSB) agars [2]. All these medias are specific for S. mutans but requires a well-equipped laboratory and a minimum incubation period of 48hours and are therefore cumbersome and time consuming.
