Roles of Oral Bacteria in Cardiovascular Diseases — From Molecular Mechanisms to Clinical Cases: Cell-Surface Structures of Novel Serotype k Streptococcus mutans Strains and Their Correlation to Virulence
2010
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences
Streptococcus mutans is generally known as a pathogen of dental caries, and it is also considered to cause bacteremia and infective endocarditis (IE). S. mutans was previously classified into 3 serotypes, c, e, and f , due to the different chemical compositions of the serotype-specific polysaccharides, which are composed of a rhamnose backbone and glucose side chains. We recently designated non-c / e / f serotype S. mutans strains as novel serotype k , which is characterized by a drastic
