Streptococcus mutans protein synthesis during mixed-species biofilm development by high-throughput quantitative proteomics.

Biofilms formed on tooth surfaces are comprised of mixed microbiota enmeshed in an extracellular matrix. Oral biofilms are constantly exposed to environmental changes, which influence the microbial composition, matrix formation and expression of virulence. Streptococcus mutans and sucrose are key mo...
