Genetic diversity of plaque mutans streptococci with rep-PCR.
Mutans streptococci (MS) are key organisms associated with the etiology of dental caries. Using probabilities that were tested by oversampling, we designed this study to determine the minimal number of MS isolates from an individual required to evaluate diversity of genotypes. MS isolates were genotyped by repetitive extragenic palindromic-polymerase chain-reaction (rep-PCR). Analysis of 20 iso...
متن کامل74 Xylitol , Mutans Streptococci , and Dental Plaque
The authors declare no conflict of interest. The caries-controlling or preventing effect of xylitol is more than just excluding fermentable sugars from the diet. This review aims to discuss the specific effects of xylitol which could have contributed to the results of the caries trials. Xylitol promotes mineralization by increasing the flow of saliva, an effect it has in common with all sweeten...
متن کاملGenetic diversity of Fusarium semitectum isolates from rice, using RAPD and REP-PCR markers
In order to determine genetic variability among 33 isolates of Fusarium semitectum, morpho- logical and molecular studies were carried out. Isolates from different paddy fields in the north of Iran were separated from each other in four morphotype groups. The isolates showed a high level of variation in aerial mycelium, color of colony, number of septa and growth rate on potato dextrose agar (P...
متن کاملMutans streptococci and the development of dental plaque.
A study of dental plaque was first documented in the literature of the 17th century. It has been described as a biofilm composed of bacterial populations living in a plaque matrix. The plaque development starts short time after a tooth surface is cleaned and covered by salivary proteins and glycoproteins conditioning film. Mutans streptococci was described as the most important bacteria related...
متن کاملPlaque pH response to snack foods in children with different levels of mutans streptococci.
This study aimed to investigate the effects of some snack foods on plaque pH in children with different levels of mutans streptococci (MS). Six children, aged 9-12 years, with low (<10(4)) and 6 children, aged 10-12 years, with high (>106) numbers of MS/ml saliva participated in the study. Dental plaque pH changes, after the consumption of milk chocolate, sweet biscuit, instant noodle, sticky r...
