| Research Abstract |
Bacterial aggregation in saliva is advantageous for oral health since bacteria are swallowed before adhering to oral tissues. The purpose of this study was to investigate mechanisms by which bacterial adherence to saliva-coated enamel surfaces or saliva-induced bacterial aggregation occur. The results indicate that SRCRP5 region in salivary agglutinin is useful for the clearance of Streptococcus mutans
