Dental biofilms produce acids from carbohydrates that result in caries. According to the
extended caries ecological hypothesis, the caries process consists of 3 reversible stages …

Clin Periodontol 2011; 38 (Suppl. 11): 28–35. doi: 10.1111/j. 1600‐051X. 2010.01673. x …

Severe early childhood caries (ECC), while strongly associated with Streptococcus mutans
using selective detection (culture, PCR), has also been associated with a widely diverse …

Streptococcus mutans, the primary etiologic agent of dental caries, possesses a series of
virulence factors associated with its cariogenicity. Alternatives to traditional antimicrobial …

Nanoparticle complexes were prepared from chitosans of various molecular weights (MW)
and degrees of deacetylation (DD). The antimicrobial effect was assessed by the Live/Dead …

Dental caries is a microbiologic infection of the tooth which results in localized dissolution
and destruction of the calcified tissue and it is one of the most common chronic infectious …

OBJECTIVE: The probiotic strain Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) is shown to hamper
the presence of mutans streptococci in saliva and may have positive effects on oral health …

La flore microbienne buccale humaine constitue un biofilm très diversifié. Vingt-cinq
espèces de streptocoques buccaux résident dans la cavité buccale humaine et représentent …

In this study we evaluated the effect of chitosan nanoparticles on the acid tolerance
response (ATR) of adhered Streptococcus mutans. An ATR was induced by exposing S …

The gram-positive bacterium Streptococcus mutans is the primary causative agent in the
formation of dental caries in humans. To persist in the oral cavity, S. mutans must be able to …
