Identification and analysis of a collagenolytic activity in Streptococcus mutans

Streptococcus mutans is an important pathogen in coronal caries and is implicated in dental root decay by its ability to bind collagen from various sources. In the present study, electron microscopic analysis demonstrated the ability of S. mutans to bind and to disrupt collagen fibrils of the amniot...
