Genotypic and phenotypic analysis of S. mutans isolated from dental biofilms fo...
Arthur,Rodrigo Alex; Cury,Altair Antoninha Del Bel; Graner,Renata Oliveira Mattos; Rosalen,Pedro Luiz; Vale,Gláuber Campos; Leme,Adriana Franco PaesThe oral cavity harbors several Streptococcus mutans genotypes, which could present distinct virulence properties. However, little is known about the diversity and virulence traits of S. mutans genotypes isolated in vivo under controlled conditions of high cariogenic challenge. This study evaluated the genotypic diversity of S. mutans isolated from dental biofilms formed in vivo under sucrose exposure, as well ...
Genotypic diversity of S. mutans in dental biofilm formed in situ under sugar s...
Arthur,Rodrigo Alex; Tabchoury,Cínthia Pereira Machado; Mattos-Graner,Renata de Oliveira; Del Bel Cury,Altair A.; Leme,Adriana Franco PaesIn situ dental biofilm composition under sugar exposure is well known, but sugar effect on the genotypic diversity of S. mutans in dental biofilm has not been explored. This study evaluated S. mutans genotypic diversity in dental biofilm formed in situ under frequent exposure to sucrose and its monosaccharide constituents (glucose and fructose). Saliva of 7 volunteers was collected for isolation of S. mutans an...
