Distinct Agents Induce Streptococcus mutans Cells with Altered Biofilm Formation Capacity

Distinct Agents Induce Streptococcus mutans Cells with Altered Biofilm Formation Capacity

ABSTRACT Dental caries is a multifactorial biofilm- and sugar-dependent disease. This study investigated the influence of different agents on the induction of surviving Streptococcus mutans cells after successive treatment cycles and characterized the biofilms formed by these cells recovered posttre...
