Mechanistic insights into the inhibitory effect of theaflavins on virulence factors production in Streptococcus mutans

Abstract Streptococcus mutans is the primary etiological agent associated with cariogenic process. The present study aimed to investigate the antibacterial and anti-virulence activities of theaflavins (TFs) to Streptococcus mutans UA159 as well as the underlying mechanisms.
