In-Situ Investigation on Nanoscopic Biomechanics of <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> at Low pH Citric Acid Environments Using an AFM Fluid Cell
<em>Streptococcus mutans</em> (<em>S. mutans</em>) is widely regarded as the main cause of human dental caries via three main virulence factors: adhesion, acidogenicity, and aciduricity. Citric acid is one of the antibiotic agents that can inhibit the virulence capabilities o...
