  2. 1. Acid Tolerance of Streptococcus Mutans Biofilms

    Author : Jessica Neilands; Malmö högskola; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acid tolerance; Streptococcus mutans; Biofilms; Acid stress; Fluoride;

    Abstract : Mikrobiologisk forskning har till stor del bedrivits genom att man odlat bakterier i näringslösningar och på agarplattor och sedan studera bakterierna på olika sätt. Detta sätt att odla bakterier överensstämmer inte särskilt bra med hur bakterier växer i verkligenheten. READ MORE

  4. 2. Epidemiological studies of dental caries in groups of Swedish children

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; dental care; fluorides; gingivitis; lactobacilli; social conditions; S. mutans; sucrose; sugar; tooth-brushing;

    Abstract : In a cross-sectional study the extent and distribution of dental caries was studied in 817 children, 4, 8 and 13 years old in three areas inSweden. The importance of dietary habits, sugar intake, social conditions, professional dental care, oral hygiene and the use of fluorides on caries prevalence was analyzed. READ MORE

  5. 3. Bacteria-agglutinating glycoproteins in human saliva : an in vitro study with special reference to Streptococcus mutans

    Author : Jan Rundegren; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : agglutinin; glycoprotein; saliva; streptococcus mutans;

    Abstract : The activity and specificity of salivary glycoproteins (agglutinins) aggregating various human indigenous microorganisms were studied in vitro. The agglutinin reacting with a serotype c strain of Streptococcus mutans was isolated and chemically characterized.The results can be summarized as follows:1. READ MORE

  6. 4. HLA, salivary IgA and mutans streptococci - is there a relation?

    Author : Marie Louise Wallengren; Malmö högskola; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immunoglobulin A; Streptococcus mutans; Streptokocker; Karies;

    Abstract : Mutansstreptokocker (MS) är en grupp bakterier som i många studier visats ha ett starkt samband med karies. Bakterierna anses tillhöra vår normala munflora, men alla individer har inte MS och mängden skiljer sig mycket från en individ till en annan. Orsakerna till denna variation är till viss del välkända, som t.ex. READ MORE

  7. 5. Revisiting dental caries as an immunodeficiency disorder

    Author : Nongfei Sheng; Nicklas Strömberg; Anders Esberg; Thomas Boren; Anna Westerlund; Vuokko Loimaranta; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; caries; immunodeficiency; proline-rich proteins; DMBT1; S. mutans; adhesin; SpaP; Cnm; Cbm; collagen binding; caries risk stratification; precision dentistry;

    Abstract : Worldwide, dental caries is the major human chronic disease, with billions of people affected in terms of life quality impairment and high society costs that consumes 5-10% of the global healthcare budget. In Western countries dental caries has declined dramatically, with a trajectory of 15% high-risk individuals with recurrent caries and a non-responder behavior to standard prevention. READ MORE
