1 gru 2003 · Describes the use of genetic manipulation in combination with an animal model to show the importance of the cell-surface anchoring of proteins in the ability of S. mutans to cause caries.
5 sie 2014 · RFLP-PCR is used for genetic studies of Streptococcus, e.g. S. pneumoniae species , S. bovis/S.equinis or S. mutans . The PCR method and its different variants, depending on the purpose for which they are used, are the most common methods for the typing of pathogenic bacteria.
5 sie 2009 · Genome comparison of two S. mutans strains, or each S. mutans strain against 13 S. pyogenes strains based on the chromosomal organization of strain NN2025 or UA159. Dot plots of S. mutans NN2025 vs 13 S. pyogenes strains and of S. mutans UA159 vs the same set of S. pyogenes strains are presented.
1 sie 2014 · The strains were biotyped based on STREPTOtest 24 biochemical identification tests and the usefulness of biotyping in the determination of S. mutans pathogenicity determinants was examined.
vaccine protecting against S. agalactiae infections has been created so far [4]. The pathogenicity of S. mutans is primarily related to the ability of adhesion to host cells. Biofilm formation is a complex process engaging a number of proteins. Khan et al. made a mutation of S. mutans, impairing the microor-ganism’s ability to form biofilms.
5 sie 2014 · The S. mutans and S. sobrinus strains were characterized by biotyping and phylogenetic analysis. The MIC of ampicillin and erythromycin was determined by microtiter plate method.
