Research Abstract

Streptococcus mutans that is one of the cariogenic bacterium is synthesized the water-soluble glucan (WSG) and the water-insoluble glucan (WIG) from sucrose, adheres on the tooth, and proliferates. In this study, S. mutans wild-type strain UA159 and its knockout mutants, which were defective in comC, comX and scrA mutant, were examined for their ability for initial adhesion, glucan synthesis and invasion into dentinal tubles. The proportions of water-insoluble glucan synthesis in all mutant strains were less than the wild type. The proportions of water-soluble glucan adhering to dentin slices in all mutant strains were also less than in the wild type. The total dose of three kinds of glucan composition decreased in all mutant strains. The expansion rates of dentinal tubules by comC and comX mutant increased more than by the wild type when cultured in brain heart infusion for 24 days. There were no detectable difference in growth between wild-type and scrA-mutant. In the presence of sucrose, the produce of WSG and WIG in scrA-mutant was less than in wild-type. This study demonstrated that the quorum-sensing system and PTS system may play a crucial role in glucan synthesis, biofilm formation, production of intracellular-polysaccharide and invasion to dentinal tubules of S.mutans.
