Uncover the latest and most impactful research in Streptococcus mutans. Explore pioneering discoveries, insightful ideas and new methods from leading researchers in the field.
Streptococcus mutans-induced dental caries is largely mediated by robust biofilm formation, making it notoriously difficult to treat with conventional antimicrobials. To overcome the limited efficacy and penetration challenges associated with...
A topical mucoadhesive dosage form was developed for the treatment of infectious oral cavity diseases, consisting of a paste based on a combination of a complex immunoglobulin preparation (CIP) and interferon alpha-2b. CIP within the final...
To determine the recurrence rate of Black Stain (BS) in children using herbal versus fluoridated toothpaste formulations, in terms of stain recurrence, stain score, and parental satisfaction. Twenty- eight children with BS were randomly allocated...
Oral mucositis (OM) is a major toxicity in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing radiotherapy. Here we conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized phase II trial (NCT06285591) from March 2024 to January 2025 at West China...
Halicephalosis is a rare cosmopolitan disease affecting equids, cattle, and humans, manifesting as meningoencephalitis. This study reports the detection of Halicephalobus gingivalisinfection in two adult horses with neurological clinical signs in...
Background Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) is the primary pathogenic bacterium causing dental caries. The P region of surface protein antigen P (SpaP) and the glucan-binding protein A (GbpA) harboring the glucan-binding domain (GBD) exhibit...
Purpose Molar-incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) is a developmental condition that may increase plaque retention and caries risk, yet its microbial signature remains unclear. We compared plaque microbiome diversity and community composition in children...
Background White spot lesions (WSLs) are a common complication in clear aligner treatment. The colonization of Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicansplays a key role in the process. This study developed a ε-poly-L-lysine (ε-PL)-modified...
Purpose This study aimed to describe the prevalence of early childhood caries (ECC) amongst Myanmar migrant preschool children in Thailand and to investigate the factors associated with their caries status. Methods This cross-sectional study included...
Background Pasteurella multocidais a gram-negative coccobacillus commonly found in the oral flora of many animals, most commonly in cats and implicated in zoonotic infections, commonly cellulitis secondary to cat bites and scratches. Here we...
Ignatzschineria indica is a rare Gram-negative bacterium increasingly recognized as a potential human pathogen associated with wound myiasis and severe bloodstream infections. Here we report a fatal case of I. indicabacteremia in a 63-year-old...
Although next-generation sequencing has elucidated complex microbial networks within the human oral cavity, current analyses remain predominantly limited to genus-level resolution, and most of the human oral microbiome landscape is based on Western...
This study represents comprehensive in vitro biosafety assessments of spray-dried pullulan–IMO (isomalto-oligosaccharides) nanofibrous encapsulated probiotics (Limosilactobacillus reuteri SW27 and Ligilactobacillus salivariusRBL22) intended for...
Clostridium perfringens infections cause intestinal diseases in numerous animal species, mediated by multiple enterotoxins. Given the potential of probiotics to prevent pathogenic infections, this study aimed to isolate and evaluate Lactic Acid...
According to the World Health Organization, oral diseases affect approximately 45% of the global population, constituting a major health concern. This systematic review aimed to analyze scientific literature on the species, compounds, uses, and...
Abstract Dental issues are a global concern affecting individuals of all ages. Oral microorganisms, including Streptococcus mutans and Enterococcus faecalis, contribute to gum inflammation and tooth detachment by forming biofilms that demineralize...
Animal bite wounds carry polymicrobial flora from companion animal oral cavities. Knowledge of the bacterial spectrum in fresh bite wounds informs empirical antibiotic selection. Regional bacteriological data focusing on fresh, unmanaged bite wounds...
This study investigated the technological characteristics of ten Lactiplantibacillus plantarumstrains isolated from fermented foods, including growth at different temperatures (5, 10, 37, and 45 °C), tolerance to NaCl concentrations (2–10%), and...
Postbiotics, the metabolites from probiotics, offer a promising approach for controlling oral biofilms through the inhibition of adhesion, degradation of established biofilms, or by exerting antimicrobial effects. This study evaluated the...
Background Streptococcus anginosus has recently emerged as a candidate gastric pathogen implicated in inflammation and tumorigenesis, prompting evaluation of whether public 16 S rRNA gene archives support phylogeographic or epidemiological analyses. ...
