27 gru 2019 · Some S. mutans strains express the cell surface collagen-binding protein Cnm, which is encoded by the cnm gene. Cnm shows an extracellular matrix-binding capability and can be a pathogenetic ...
30 wrz 2021 · Glucosyltransferases (Gtfs) play critical roles in the etiology and pathogenesis of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans)- mediated dental caries including early childhood caries. Gtfs enhance...
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.
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.
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 2009 · Streptococcus mutans is the major pathogen of dental caries, and it occasionally causes infective endocarditis. While the pathogenicity of this species is distinct from other human pathogenic streptococci, the species-specific evolution of the genus Streptococcus and its genomic diversity are poorly understood.
