Different Patterns of Virulence Genes in <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> and <i>Streptococcus sobrinus</i> Originating from Estonian Toddlers—Mothers Cohort

Aims: Mutans streptococci include <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> and <i>Streptococcus sobrinus,</i> which can cause tooth decay. The current study aimed to compare their virulence genes with each other and to correlate them with the clinical data of patients. Materials and metho...
