The Effect of Adsorption on the Acid Production of Caries and Noncaries-Producing StreptococciDepartment of Microbiology, Baylor College of Dentistry, Dallas, Texas 75246, USA
Department of Microbiology, Baylor College of Dentistry, Dallas, Texas 75246, USA Eighteen different Streptococcus strains including S mutans, sanguis, mitis, salivarius, bovis, and 2F2, were assayed for their relative adsorption to synthetic hydroxyapatite and for quantities of lactic acid produced while in the adsorbed state. The results indicated that all S mutans and some S sanguis have an enhanced metabolic activity while adsorbed to hydroxapatite as compared to control suspensions without hydroxyapatite.
