Novel two-stage expansion of Streptococcus mutans biofilm supports EPS-targeted prevention strategies for early childhood caries
Abstract Early childhood caries (ECC) affects nearly half of preschool children worldwide and characterized by rapid progression across multiple teeth. While Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) is a keystone species in dental caries, its process for rapid biofilm expansion remains unclear. Using an air...
