Survival Strategies of Streptococcus mutans during Carbohydrate Starvation
Streptococcus mutans is a facultative member of the oral plaque and is associated with dental caries. It is able to survive long periods of sugar starvation. The purpose of this project was to explore specific avenues that S. mutans may use in order to cope with carbohydrate deprivation. …

Rapid Detection of <em>Streptococcus mutans</em> in Saliva
… that mothers can pass the cariogenic bacteria <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> to their infants. The newest technology to identify <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> is a rapid detection saliva test. Two hundred patients above the age of 18 were targeted using random selection in a Louisville, Kentucky dental …

The Effects of Quorum Sensing Molecules on Streptococcus mutans Biofilm
… (QS) pathways of cariogenic bacteria like Streptococcus mutans could reduce the formation of dental plaque on teeth, lowering the incidences of caries and periodontitis. This research studied the effects of three QQ molecules (p-coumaric acid, tyrosol, and farnesol) on S. mutans biofilm …

Explainable Machine Learning Prediction of Antimicrobial Peptide Targeting Streptococcus mutans
Streptococcus mutans is mainly recognized for its role in dental caries, yet it is also increasingly recognized as a significant contributor to systemic diseases. When it gains access to the bloodstream during daily oral hygiene or a dental procedure, S. mutans can become a dangerous systemic …

in vitro studie van Candida albicans en Streptococcus mutans biofilms
… of biofilms, i.e. C. albicans on silicone and S. mutans on hydroxyapatite have been studied. Suitable in vitro systems were developed to grow and quantify these biofilms and were subsequently used to evaluate strategies for the prevention of biofilm formation. First, the occurrence of Candida …

Orally Induced Tolerance to Streptococcus Mutans and Glucosyltransferase in Neonatal Mice
… glucosyltransferase (GTase), formalin killed Streptococcus mutans cells (vaccine) and bovine serum albumin (BSA), were used to orally induce tolerance in neonatal C57BL mice. Radial immunodiffusion was used to measure the antibody response to vaccine and BSA, and an enzyme inhibition assay was …

IN VITRO EFFECT OF STATINS ON STREPTOCOCCUS MUTANS, STREPTOCOCCUS SANGUIS, AND STREPTOCOCCUS SALVARIUS
… pegs. Methods: The effect of statins on S. mutans, S. sanguis, and S. salivarius was determined by finding the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) by broth dilution assays. Simvastatin, pravastatin atorvastatin, and rousuvastatin were used in this study. The minimum inhibitory …

MUTACIN IV PRODUCTION IN STREPTOCOCCUS MUTANS UA159: CHARACTERIZATION, REGULATION, AND MECHANISM OF SELF-IMMUNITY
Streptococcus mutans, an oral pathogen, is considered as a principle etiological agent of dental caries. To colonize successfully in the oral cavity, this organism encounters fierce competition with other oral microbiota and this process is facilitated by ribosomally synthesized small cationic …

Effects of Cinnamon Water Extract as a Cariostatic Agent on Nicotine-Induced Streptococcus Mutans Biofilm
… of cinnamon water extract on nicotine-induced Streptococcus mutans biofilm. This study utilized S. mutans biofilm assays with varying concentrations of nicotine/cinnamon water extract levels. Design: A preliminary experiment was carried out to confirm the most likely effective concentration of …
