Outline of Final Research Achievements

Generally Streptococcus mutans(S. mutans) are known as pathogenic bacteria of teeth caries in dental area, but recently S. mutans are also featured as virulence factors to systemic disease. So we have focused on superficial proteins as virulence factors of S. mutans.In this validation, we report that sortase which localize proteins produced intracellular to membrane are involved in the ability of attachment to hela cells. And more there are six proteins which is dependent on sortase, we also report it is likely that wapA plays a crucial role in attachment to hela cells.
