  • Aim: To characterize the genetic variability of Streptococcus mutans isolates and to correlate this variability with different colonization profiles observed during dental caries in a sample of children. (bvsalud.org)
  • Several studies have demonstrated that the colonization and accumulation of Streptococcus mutans is associated with dental caries in humans, since they are influenced by various factors in the oral cavity, such as nutrition and hygiene conditions of the host, salivary components, cleaning power and salivary flow and characteristics related with microbial virulence factors 3 . (bvsalud.org)
  • Streptococcus mutans is the key contributor to the formation of polysaccharide-based extracellular matrices in dental biofilms 4 . (bvsalud.org)
  • Streptococcus mutans is widely distributed not only among populations with a moderate-to-high incidence of caries 5 but also among populations with little or no incidence of the disease 6 , which suggests that colonization by this microorganism alone is not sufficient for the development of caries 5 .
