A concerning increase in global rates of severe invasive infections becoming resistant to key antibiotics has a team of infectious disease researchers at the Houston Methodist Research Institute ...

Our research has led to the discovery of novel mechanisms used by commensal bacteria that interfere with the pathogenesis of Streptococcus mutans, an oral pathogen that contributes to the formation of ...

HKUST researchers unlock the micro-molecular physiochemical mechanism of dental plaque formation Paving way for new preventive measures for tooth decay Peer-Reviewed Publication ...

In the presence of the molecule, Streptococcus mutans-- the prime bacterial cause of the tooth decay called dental caries -- is unable to make the protective and sticky biofilm that allows it to ...

Streptococcus suis ( S. suis) is an important zoonotic pathogen causing substantial economic losses in the swine industry. S. suis serotype 2 (SS2) is often isolated from the diseased. S. suis ...

Tooth decay may finally have met its match. A small study of a new mouthwash found that it kills virtually all of the bacteria that cause tooth decay, but leaves other, beneficial oral bacteria alone.

An inter-disciplinary team of researchers led by Prof. Qian Peiyuan, Chair Professor at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology's Department of Ocean Science and Division of Life ...

Researchers from Okayama University, Japan, uncover novel pathogenic role of a surface collagen-binding protein “Cnm,” on Streptococcus mutans, a dental caries-causing bacteria, in the ...

New research says the gut microbiome is involved in multiple pathways in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. ... Actinomyces oris by 6.5-fold and Streptococcus mutans by sixfold.

The findings of this study are described in a paper titled “Integrative genomic, virulence, and transcriptomic analysis of emergent Streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies equisimilis (SDSE) emm type ...
