Morphological and proteomic analyses of the biofilms generated by Streptococcus mutans isolated from caries-active and caries-free adults

Background/purpose: Biofilm formation by Streptococcus mutans is a prerequisite for the development of caries. Different strains of S. mutans may differ in their capacity in biofilm formation and protein expression. The objective of this study was to investigate the morphological features and proteo...
