| Research Abstract |
Streptococcus mutans is known to be a major cariogenic bacterial species that may also show virulence in blood. Serotype k strains, a minor serotype present in the oral cavity, may show higher levels of virulence in blood, because of a longer duration of bacteremia due to lower antigenicity derived from defects of major cell surface antigens. In addition, the higher rate of the organisms with collagen-binding properties identified in this strain may also be associated with virulence toward blood vessel endothelia with exposed internal collagen tissue.
