First Detection and Characterization of Streptococcus dentapri from Caries Active Subject.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Mutans streptococci (MS) are a group of oral bacteria generally regarded as the principal agents in the pathogenesis of dental caries.

Aim

The study aimed was characterize S. dentapri based on phylogenetic analysis and phenotypic methods from Caries Active Subject.

Materials and methods

While sequencing MS species which were isolated from 65 caries active subjects, one strain of S. dentapri was detected. Dental plaque samples were processed and cultured on mitis salivarius bacitracin agar. S. dentapri was characterized using phylogenetic analysis, colony morphology characterization and biotyping.

Results

Among the study population, one strain designated as H14 was identified as S. dentapri by 16S rDNA sequencing. Morphol
