Analysis of Streptococcus mutans biofilm proteins recognized by salivary immunoglobulin A
Oral Microbiology and Immunology, 08/20/2009
|
Sanui T et al. – The bacterial molecules recognized by caries–free saliva are significant factors for S. mutans caries formation, and their inhibition could be a therapeutic target. In addition ... includes significant IgA antibody against antigen I/II of S. mutans, indicating a protective mechanism. However, microorganisms may protect themselves from host immune attack by forming biofilms and decreasing expression of antigen I/II.

Serotype classification of Streptococcus mutans and its detection outside the oral cavity
Future Microbiology, 09/18/2009
|
Nakano K et al. – Molecular analyses of cardiovascular specimens showed a high detection frequency for S. mutans DNA, among which the detection rate for serotype k was quite high. These findings suggest that serotype k S. mutans possibly has a ... high level of virulence for systemic diseases.

Influences of naturally occurring agents in combination with fluoride on gene expression and structural organization of Streptococcus mutans in biofilms
BMC Microbiology, 10/29/2009
|
Jeon JG et al. – The data show that the combination of naturally–occurring agents with fluoride effectively disrupted the expression of specific virulence genes, structural organization and accumulation of S. mutans biofilms, which may explain the ... cariostatic effect of the chemotherapeutic approach.

Natural prevalence of antibody titres to GTF of S. mutans in saliva in high and low caries active children
Journal of Indian Society of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, 10/16/2009
|
Kirtaniya BC et al. – The present study was conducted to find out the role of natural immunity against dental caries. There were significant decrease of s–IgA titre as well as ... increased number of dental caries. This study showed that because of lack of local immunity the children are more prone to dental caries.
