Anti-cariogenic activity of mutanocyclin, a secondary metabolite of Streptococcus mutans, in mono- and multispecies biofilms

ABSTRACT Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans), a principal cariogenic pathogen responsible for dental caries, alters the oral biofilm ecology through the production of various metabolites. One such metabolite, mutanocyclin (MUC), a recently identified secondary metabolite, may have implications for both...
