Molecular characterization of Streptococcus mutans strains containing the cnm gene encoding a collagen-binding adhesin
Objective: Streptococcus mutans, known to be a major pathogen of dental caries, is also considered to cause infective endocarditis. Its 120-kDa Cnm protein binds to type I collagen, which may be a potential virulence factor. In this study, we characterized S. mutans clinical strains focusing on the...
